Pros

The benefits of working at Baylor University are fantastic--generous PTO, solid retirement options, etc. Working for a good cause has a lot of intrinsic value & benefits.

Cons

The salary is standard "Education" pay, and that can be difficult if you're trying to raise a family of 4. Additionally, Baylor has a problem with keeping base salaries the same over 10+ year periods without increasing the base pay to address inflation. At some point "Good paying jobs" become "bad paying jobs" by this factor alone. Also, be aware that the same title in one department can be paid significantly less or more in another department.

Pros

Generous time vacation time and sick leave, 403(b) contributions, and tuition remission.

Cons

Salary increases do not keep up with inflation. Additionally, there are no annual bonuses, stock options, and there's little financial incentive "to work smarter not harder" because of the required "8am-5pm" office structure and limited remote work. Additionally, much of HR's view of your salary is wrapped up in your "overall compensation" meaning your 403(b), etc.
