Pros

The teaching assistant union (UAW 2865) got us a great contract, but it took several years to negotiate with the administration. The position includes much better health insurance than it used to, now that they are complying with the ACA. They used to have a $10K yearly cap.

Cons

They keep increasing class sizes which lowers the quality of students' education. I have more students to teach, more papers to grade, and less time to give individual attention.
