Pros

Great insurance and health care benefits. Not incredibly stressful work environment. Seems like a government job, for better and worse.

Cons

The pay is ok but not great compared to similar universities/hospitals. Parking is inconvenient and expensive. Due to being a government run organization, it is bureaucratic and overly structured, sometimes giving advancement opportunities based on length of employment rather than talent.
