Pros

Job Security great place for individuals that strive to simply get by in life. No drug tests or background checks required for most position. Great place to work. Faculty has life time job security.

Cons

Mediocre performance is rewarded. Tuition Assistance policy is horrible for a premier research institution. Compensation practices are horrible. Compensation is based on date of hire not experience. I could have more experience than someone working in my department but get paid less based on date of hire. Reduced benefits and flat salary with no expectation of an increase. This place doesn't place value on diversity.
