Pros

You really get a chance to meet some great people, student, faculty, and staff included. On the faculty side, pay is a lot more attractive so the really good faculty members tend to stick around which is good for students.

Cons

Staff are underpaid, so people tend to use this place as a launching pad for their career, upper management realizes this and seem's to push talent away before they walk away. New staff is always hit and miss because they won't pay the talented people what they are worth. Insurance is extremely expensive. There is not a lot of opportunity for growth, they do not promote within. Raises are an insult, tax rates increase by more than annual raises
