Pros
Good pay, good hours, good benefits like vacation, extra college-breaks, childcare, challenging work in most areas, lots of good intentions, it is fun being involved in the education of young people and returning adult learners. Physical work environment is very nice. Technology is reliable and fairly modern. Focused on diversity. Faculty, Staff and Administration are all student focused most of the time.
Cons
Hiring process is painful. Onboarding process doesn't always include the training you might need. Some departments are overstaffed...some are understaffed. This can be a very political place so you do have to watch out for the climbers. Leadership doesn't often recognize the contributors versus the talkers and can act without facts at times. Definition of diversity is narrow during the hiring process.
