      Great benefits and job security, but below-market pay and frustrating parking

      Pros

      Excellent benefits package, particularly the tuition reimbursement and the strong retirement match. The university offers great job security, a beautiful campus environment, and the opportunity to work with intelligent, supportive colleagues in a prestigious research and medical setting.

      Cons

      Base salaries are lower than the industry market rate, and annual merit raises are often minimal. The bureaucratic nature of such a large institution can slow career advancement, and paying out of pocket for remote employee parking that requires a shuttle commute is very inconvenient.
