      The university is a large place to navigate causing some run around when you're trying to complete tasks, often the layers of bureaucracy get in the way of efficiently getting work done

      A gigantic bureaucracy that works (barely) in spite of itself

      Pros

      Intellectual freedom, generally nice people. A real community of learning, instruction, and research. Most students are reasonably high quality. Many excellent programs. AAUP (professor's union) protects our jobs and intellectual freedom.

      Cons

      Mind-numbing complexity, RUScrew, still clinging to in-person instruction. Chronic staffing problems in the ORSP and DGCA offices hamper ability to obtain and manage grant funding. As at any large university, money talks, and if you aren't bringing in enough grant funding, you cannot get anyone to listen to your ideas or get promoted. As the flip side to the AAUP, the staffing unions have rigid word rules and make it difficult to hire qualified people and fire those who are underperforming.
