Pros

Most people are overqualified for their positions so your coworkers are likely to be full of experience and contacts. Everyone I've worked with and directly under is wonderful. The campus is beautiful.

Cons

The outside contractors treat their employees like slaves and it can create tension. The administration is desperate to appear modern and as a result jumps on stupid ideas without proper consideration, so when they do an update expect problems and poor support. (Most recently they switched payroll for students but didn't add more workers to Payroll, resulting in multiple students not getting paid in time to get their rents paid and the departmental heads having to fight for the students. A huge headache that still rages on.

Pros

Paid time off is great. Winter recess off is the best. Each school within the university has it's own culture. Some are better than others. I've been lucky to work in two that have been great.

Cons

Health insurance premiums are a little high, but I guess that's the case everywhere. A lot of work around the university is on grants, so there's always the possibility the money funding you can go away. In almost 10 years that I've been with Tulane, there have been three hiring freezes.
