      Pros

      Mason provides a great opportunity for growth. Great work life balance with the opportunity to work from home depending on the position.

      Cons

      With three different campuses it can be difficult to know what's going in each location. Growing student population but budget cuts lead to staffing shortages.

      Comfortable but lacking opportunities for upward mobility

      Administrative/professional faculty

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Management tends to leave you alone to focus on your job Work/life balance is strong Opportunities to telework and take advantage of flexible working schedules appreciated Adequate budget and access to necessary tools

      Cons

      Mason wants to move forward without revisiting stagnant policies instituted when university was much smaller No real upward mobility for non-tenure lines (curse of state employment) Difficulty in retaining talent due to aforementioned reasons; lots of competition in area Lots of dead weight
