Pros

Very laid back jobs. Easy to get hours, lot of down time, and the scheduling is flexible.

State funded, and very inefficient at times. Don't get frustrated.

Pros

Work-life balance, benefits, stability, product you can be proud of, nice people in general. The promise of a new era for GMU via new blood at all levels.

Cons

The culture of de-centralization contributes to a sort of campus-wide fiefdom mentality that doesn't move the university as a whole, forward. This is a behavior that has taken decades to develop, much like a weed, and as a result will take a bit of time to successfully extract as well.
