Pros

Tuition reimbursement is available for employees

Cons

Very disorganized. There is no communication between any departments, or between departments and their colleges, or the universities as a whole. Staff is treated incredibly unfairly and is always at the mercy of the faculty, who are insidiously rude and hard to work with. Complaints to directors and even HR all fell on deaf ears. There are little to no opportunities for advancement in the majority of staff positions, and most desires to advance your career are met with opposition from supervisors & HR. The pay is way too low for everything that you have to put up with. I was so happy to leave here.
