Pros

Great people, work life balance, nice atmosphere, good benefits, job security, etc. I like working here, it's a nice balance of hard work and enjoyable work environment.

Cons

Low salaries, parking isn't free, high turnover, bureaucracy, etc. This is a state job, so you can't escape some level of bureaucracy. However, with all the various University policies it can become a little inefficient.

Pros

Benefits were comparable to the area, Classes were paid for when you are classified staff. This company/school is in the process of a revamp I believe that once it is done it will be a technologically advanced area of Fairfax.

Cons

management was micromanaging and the salary was state funded so it did not include a realistic living wage for the northern virginia area.
