      Pros

      Colleagues are wonderful. Professional atmosphere. Professional development is encouraged. Students at Mason are great to work with. I've enjoyed my tenure at Mason.

      Cons

      It's difficult to maintain one's lifestyle on this amount of money in the DC area. There are very few raises or cost of living increases which make it hard to live or feel appreciated in this environment despite the wonderful colleagues.

      Pros

      The medical insurance coverage is excellent and cheap. Flex time is available. It's a casual workplace in some departments. You can take a free class every semester.

      Cons

      If you are a professional who reports to faculty, you will be treated like you are the help; given lots of responsibility with minimal authority; and your professional goals will be of no relevance in polishing the faculty's CV. Pay scale way below similar private sector positions, and Virginia had a salary freeze on for FIVE YEARS.
