Pros
-Not expected to work more than 40 hours a week, which provides for a good work/life balance.
Cons
-The most bureaucratic place - online procedures must be followed up with paper forms, which decreases efficiency and seems counterproductive. -Salaries lower than other Universities in the region. -Benefits are not good - no sick days provided which means people have to dip into vacation if something comes up health-wise. -Stingy in terms of benefits and overtime pay. -Managers do not provide opportunity to learn, and the fact that they have been in their jobs for 20+ years doesn't allow for any new ideas or change -Technology is VASTLY behind schedule (and it doesn't help that managers are afraid of change and won't learn how to use basic computer programs!) -People and departments as a whole are incredibly unhelpful. People like to push around a problem so that they and their department do not have to deal with it. -Lacking in communication. -Not enough employee appreciation -People can literally sit at their desks and do nothing all day and get paid great for it.
