      Pros

      Heavy investment in professional development, lots of opportunity to work with really smart people, five weeks vacation, and generally a very family-friendly employer.

      Cons

      Positions "managed" by faculty, not staff or administrators, can be tough. If you're in the wrong department, your manager may be inept or a bully. HR does a lousy job of weeding out long-standing employees who are bad at their job. And if your incompetent boss is tenured faculty, fuggedaboudit.

      Pros

      They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

      Cons

      Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.
