Pros

32.7% Fringe Benefit rate! This includes the famous tuition exemption for you, spouse, and children from primary school through graduate. No one can beat this perk which allows you to develop and grow as a human being and professional. Plus CU has numerous classes and on-line venues to access at your leisure and still receive credit.

Cons

CU often employees Directors who have less of an education or little-to-no knowledge of their teams responsibilities. Many qualified people leave CU because their immediate leadership is insecure, is less credentialed, and/or does not support staff development. CU has yet to develop a culture of "having experts on your team" to make you success and in turn them successful...and then letting them leave the nest if they so desire without feelings of bitterness.

Pros

If you a PhD student, you never have to worry about money or funding. Professors have a lot of funding for different research projects.

Cons

The EE department/professors are not very supportive of the PhD students. Most of them are not typically patient with students if they are taking their time with projects. They replace them with new students.
