Pros

You get Blue Cross Blue Shield (you pay 20-30$ copay if you get the most premium option of 160$ every month) Delta dental (not the great) Vision (Don't care to use this) 403B retirement fund Tuition Waiver, but if you take more than 2 classes for the whole academic year (Spring, Summer, Fall) then you pay taxes. Unless it is directly related (NOT CLOSELY RELATED, BUT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE HIRED TO DO) then you don't have to pay taxes for it. That's about it really....

Cons

Parking...50 year contract with MasParc where they dictate the prices and will charge you however much they feel like it. Honestly, HR is pretty much a joke, They won't accommodate you or any disability you may have. So make sure that if you can't commute to work, get a remote job, otherwise there's nothing you can do about it. There's little to no raises/promotions. You're lucky to get above a 4% raise each year.

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Great and kind staff to work with. My team is wonderful

Cons

Salary not competing with inflation and is not competitive especially for the Boston area. On my salary I cannot afford to live close to my work. The "merit" increases this year were laughable - not competing with inflation nor cost of living.
