Pros

Generally good benefits, some great Mostly relaxed atmosphere Diverse technology Rewarding to be part of education system Umm...can park near my job site

Cons

Perpetual reorganizations (good management transforms and leads, bad management reorganizes) Benefits costs rise faster than salary while providing less each year Staff treated like second-class citizens compared to faculty. President has limited understanding of what it takes to support a university and a student. Merit pay freezes for years due to Mitch Daniels as governor, now for two more years with Mitch as president of Purdue.

Pros

The benefits are fine, but not amazing. There are lots of nice aspects to working on campus. I like the library access.

Cons

Pay is not that great and there is the weird effect of state politics on operations.
