Pros

Great boss and students, supportive staff. Good work with autonomy and resources.

Cons

The university administration struggles to deal with post-docs. There was some tick in the way summer pay was provided that meant payroll deductions doubled up in the spring, but the details kept changing from year to year so it was hard to plan around.

Pros

- fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

Cons

- pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
