Pros
Reasonable pay, not terrible benefits, good work/life balance
Cons
Any reasonably competent individual will slowly be driven insane working for this institution. It is a god forsaken wasteland of mediocrity in which the status quo can most appropriately be expressed by the phrase "Since that's not technically my job, while I could help you, seeing as I am not formally required to, I will not." Overall, the tone set from the top down is “Good enough” is well good enough. If that describes your world view then this honestly would be a great company to work for. I mean this genuinely. The company more or less does do things “technically” correctly, it just does not do them well or efficiently. Thus, if you just want a job where you go in every day, do your daily tasks and go home without being overly concerned over if what you did really made sense then you’d probably enjoy it there. But if you are the type of person who is looking to constantly improve yourself and your work then you most likely will become extremely frustrated working there and leave. Finally, while slightly tangential, given the importance of IT in a person’s daily work, I feel it relevant to note the following: The IT organization as a whole is atrocious, and mostly useless on account of both their excessively frequent use of the aforementioned phrase and their general lack of adequate training. Half of the requests I sent in ended without an adequate resolution and those that did often took weeks to resolve. I once had a job critical piece of software fail, and it took them over two weeks to get it functional again.
