Pros

benefits are decent, not great, but decent It's conveniently located almost outside of the city so the commute is reasonable without fighting a lot of city traffic Pay is competitive with other institutions

Cons

Inept management all the way around Middle management seems much more concerned with covering their own butts that they are willing to throw good people under the bus when something compromises the way they look to senior management Parking on site used to be decent, now it is a nightmare
