Pros

I work with students and am constantly challenged (in a good way) to learn more and do more. Very stimulating and overall excellent colleagues. Culture is a good fit from other top tier institution down the road - very down to earth. I am well-compensated for the work I do interfacing with students

Cons

No real career trajectory - have had the same title for 5+ years. Very political so you have to be able to "play the game," which is not always easy to do.
