Pros

Free tuition up to a certain amount. Relatively laid back summers and winter breaks.

Cons

Where to begin? Experience varies depending on the department you work for, my department is absolutely abysmal. Leadership has no vision and is only focused upwards without concern for the department. The leadership roles are filled by the incompetent and are in no way qualified for the roles they have. Those that actually do work constantly get thrown under the bus by supervisors. Few people are happy. Turnover is ridiculously high. And never in my few years of working have I ever been in a place where people have been fired, two people have been in the short time I've been here. Also university staff hasn't received a raise in over three years.
