Pros

Flexible schedule. 14% 401a. Affordable insurance.

Cons

Very slow moving. Centralized, top-down decisions. People are not empowered. President and CIO are micro-managers and pit their employees against each other. IT and staff salaries are very low. Little incentive for innovation.

Pros

Academia is a more relaxed atmosphere than a for profit business. Most of the people I work with are very kind. And the summers are amazingly quiet.

Cons

The pay is very low. My position was just created and the base pay is $50k. However, the raises here only come if you leave your position and move to a different division within the university. It is commonly said that if you want a raise or a promotion you have to go somewhere else.
