Pros

University is major presence in downtown Philadelphia. Benefits are decent and they employ a vast number of teachers, staff & administration. Easy to make office friendships with so many coworkers of various ages groups, diverse backgrounds & differing work histories.

Cons

Like so many companies, it is hindered by inept upper management and office politics of general supervisors looking for promotions. If you are lucky to work in a dept that is drama free, hopefully you will get out before things change. Think of it as a 2 or 3-year stepping-stone to a better job. Any longer than that and the poison will start setting in.
