      Pros

      The work was interesting and there was always the opportunity to continue learning. Depending on the supervisor, flexible work schedule was great. Ability to amass an incredible amount of vacation and sick leave.

      Cons

      Poor (dysfunctional) management. Attitude of coworkers/supervisors was difficult to deal with at times-liked to talk about others coworkers/supervisors that were not present .

      Pros

      - fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

      Cons

      - pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
