Pros

University pays 8% into 401K and makes you contribute 7% minimum. You cannot contribute less but you can contribute more.

Cons

Health insurance is getting a bit steep and you have to pay for parking. Google what Curtailment is and be prepared to either go unpaid or use vacation days in December on mandated days when the university is closed. It is nuts.
