Pros

Great benefits available to employees. Some divisions are great - really depends on the Vice President. The college tries to create a good work environment, especially the HR department.

Cons

The work environment below the management level is great. Above manager level research your VP before accepting a job. Some have a revolving door of managers below them. Professional development is very limited and not a priority for administrative staff.
