Pros

Good people to work with who are motivated to want the best for students

Cons

De-centralized departments lead to interdepartmental fighting, non-cooperation. Budget cuts keep leading to more and more job responsibilities being placed on workers for no more financial compensation or even recognition. Lots of burned out workers.

Pros

The stated mission is great. The benefits are wonderful, but the salary is not as high as other opportunities in the area. This is offset by the fact that you get to do work for the community and really have an impact.

Cons

Depending on where you work, the department may have terrible culture, especially for women. There are other people who are working hard to improve these pockets - but if you don't find those people, you could feel very isolated. Hopefully you will find one of the great departments!
