Pros

Good benefits, always something going on, free tuition for full time employees, get to meet a lot of people (students, faculty, other staff).

Cons

Low pay, pay for parking, incompetent management that cannot be fired because of state law protection, lack of flex work option in certain departments, stuck in their old ways, lots of turn over so people don't know what they're doing, state budget cuts means no raises for 2 years, how are people expected to thrive in Fairfax VA if they can barely afford a mortgage or start a family?

Cons

Parking is just the worst, no way to get around that Traffic is always a nightmare You have to deal with college kids, but it is a university so you should know that already
