      Pros

      Really great benefits all around. Fun to work in a university setting.

      Cons

      The politics and red tape were insane - the worst I've ever seen. It made it hard to accomplish anything, much less innovate. Teams across the university work in silos, and the power struggles among leadership made collaboration rather unpleasant and unproductive. Senior leaders would throw temper tantrums in front of employees when they didn't get their way, and were constantly throwing each other under the bus. Meetings were often tense and were rarely used to make actual decisions - which is crazy because there were SO many meetings.

      Pros

      I was in IT so this does not reflect on Creighton as a whole. IT is entirely isolated from the rest of Creighton University. The 10 days off over Christmas was what everyone falls back on working here. Occasional downtime was nice and work/ life flexibility great depending on who your direct manager was. Got very lucky with a few incredible brilliant coworkers in my role.

      Cons

      Not enabled to do the job at hand. Things I was expected to complete was not possible with tools given and resources delegated to assist were often times unwilling to help. Far too much management to the degree goals conflicted depending who I was talking to. Much of leadership has never held a technical support role to any degree so it is tough to reflect day to day adversities to someone who could not relate. Progress could not be met due to this overly managed structure, because forward progress died in meetings time and time again. Zero pay advancement and even less career advancement. No considerations or opportunity to enter the realm of leadership for technicians. Collaboration with other teams was near impossible as they terminate discussions that entail any sort of obligation from them.

      Pros

      The University as a whole is awesome at promoting a whole person concept. You will meet people from all walks of life and they are almost always helpful and friendly.

      Cons

      Compensation is lower than most, making it hard to acquire and retain good talent. Some departments on campus still operate in a quite backward fashion, and trying to help them progress is quite painful.
