- Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★Featured Review
Pros
Bright students with supportive administration
Cons
Inability to personally negotiate compensation and benefits due to organized labor situation
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Great place to work. Good benefits and love the 4-5 weeks PTO for first 5 years then 5-6 weeks after that. Great work life balance. Wonderful people.
Cons
Push of politics on a daily basis. It's a large place so everyone knows someone who knows someone, which can be good OR bad for career trajectory. Its hard to climb the pay scale at times, and is common knowledge that to get any real gains, you must leave to do so. You can make a lot more if you come back into the system, after leaving. Which is sad, because you can loose great employees that way, instead of working to retain and refine your talent. All in all its a great place to work.

Pros
Environment, insurance is great, career opportunities
Cons
Parking is absolutely atrocious. I have a blue pass for $75 a month. I could buy a yellow, but there’s not a whole lot of options close by for yellow parking. I drive 45 minutes to get to work and on weekends walk 15 minutes to get to my unit. That’s already quite a commute, in my opinion.
