Vantaggi

- Students are dynamic and motivated. You can work collaboratively with them - Benefits are great! - Campus is small and you get to meet many other professionals and colleagues - Commitment to social change and financial support for students and staff

Svantaggi

- There's a loyalty and culture of micromanaging. An unconscious perception that "you should be grateful to work here." - Lack of work-life balance. It depends on where you work. Don't expect work-from-home. Many people don't like it. - Old school with old ideologies. Power dynamics can interfere with decisions and speaking up about concerns. "Stay in your lane mentality" - Stuck in the idea that 2019 students and culture are the same. Not considerate of new workplace values and change in the world of work.

Vantaggi

Incredible benefits, worth 40% of your salary. So much time off it's hard to use. Great health care, 36 hour work week (if your boss doesn't make you work more), slow-paced.

Svantaggi

So much time off it's hard to use it all without losing it with annual rollover caps. Pay is terrible. In theory, you come for the benefits and the lighter, less frenetic workload but that very much depends on who your boss is and what team you work for. I worked for a very mismanaged research center where my manager expected everyone to be available 24 hours a day. Most PU departments operate at a snail's pace, no sense of urgency even on urgent things. Independent faculty doing cool things but the institution is very lowercase c conservative. No pathway for advancement, especially on smaller teams.
