Pros

Generally stable employment, once you are in, you're in. Your experience is going to be highly dependent on you're area, which could be a pro or con.

Cons

Very little opportunities for advancement, no clear pathways, career structures of the university mostly act to keep you trapped in one job, making as little as possible. Benefits get worse year after year. OSU used to be a place where you'd work for little pay for the amazing benefits, but they just erode every where. They do nothing to retain staff, no training or support, so it you sink or swim, and if you succeed the reward is just more work.
