Pros

My office was very laid-back. Very little micro-management, you were given assignments as a long as they were completed everything was fine. Very understanding of supporting the work/life balance. The sick leave and vacation was extremely generous when compared to other workplaces.

Cons

Because I worked in a very small department there was limited opportunities for growth. So you would either have to remain pigeon-holed in that position or wait for someone to move on in order to advance. This was a great position for starting a career but not a good one for the long-term

Pros

The people in the trenches The students The passionate faculty

Cons

Leadership, their inefficiencies and poor decisions Very dysfunctional environment HR does whatever leadership tells them to do, including covering issues by "friends of the boss", This favoritism approach also includes approvals for who gets to work from out of state even when the position can be easily filled by local workers and the creation of new jobs for those that are chosen. Very poor financial decisions. Big big pay on top, Low pay on bottom. Very little room for growth unless someone likes you and you are the right color.
