Pros

2x TIAA matching, decent vacation days and major public holidays.

Cons

Toxic management undermines decency, benefits, work value, trajectory, and pay. Take with a grain of salt reviews from non-faculty/student workers/researchers. Pay is not competitive. Unsupportive and toxic management, a bunch of yes-men and lifers that exist to maintain their positions rather than supporting their staff or department. So much internal toxicity from backstabbing, favoritism, incompetence, forced retirement, constructed firing, lack of mobility. Supervisors are equally incompetent and insecure, leading to workplace mismanagement and demoralization. Tuition benefits, while they exist by policy, are brutal and essentially non-existent without support from your supervisor. While nominal bonuses exist, this is entirely based on favoritism rather than work or merit. Lifers have existed for decades here and are clearly accustomed to manipulate the systems that are supposed to be in place for checks-and-balances of work output, behavior, and upward mobility. Every supervisor has clearly been there to protect their own skin. Be aware when noticing reviews as it skews the company rating, that you'll notice the ratings that are more than 2-3 stars are from student workers, graduate workers and researchers, or non-departmental/non-administrative professionals. This distinction is critical.
