      Pros

      Wow can't really find any accept that I liked most of my colleagues who by the way 99% of them have left the job

      Cons

      Disorganized administration. We are wats given the run around because people do not know their jobs fully. The environment does not foster creativity. No opportunities for advancement. Old facilities everywhere including the elevators in which people are always getting stuck and which are never working. Employees are neglected and there are really no incentives to work there

      Great opportunity hidden inside an extremely bloated infrastructure

      Pros

      The university is broad in both resources and career opportunities. The vast array of research interests allows for unlimited possibilities for collaboration.

      Cons

      This may be the most bureaucratic institution in the universe. I am quite convinced that there are entire buildings full of people who's sole job description is to write and continually update forms to be filled out for every mundane task that occurs at the university. There also must be another building full of people who's job it is to create the forms that must be filled out in order to receive the other forms. It's a prime example of academic bloat- there are numerous and blatant examples of people doing jobs just because they need something to do in order to collect a paycheck. It's disheartening for those of us who must really on providing extramural research funding just to survive.
