Pros

Great colleagues, great students, inclusive nature, youthful and vivacious energy. Many opportunities to attend awesome community events! Health benefits are fantastic! Work-load is not over-the-top and there is little to no expectation to work weekends/after hours.

Cons

ASU still remains a highly traditional workplace adhering to strict 8-5 working hours for salaried employees. There is little flexibility and management tends to be over involved in day to day decisions that can be made by competent professional staff, leading some staff to feel like they are just cogs in a machine and not true, capable professionals. You have to pay for parking (expensive, with NO staff discount). Depending on your department/college there is little room for growth. Pay is not amazing-- but that is across higher ed and not unique to ASU. Also, the university very rarely closes-- meaning working in summers, over winter break, and spring break is required (a benefit most higher ed professionals at other universities receive)
