none.

Pros

Despite being a large multi-campus university, there is still collaboration between groups (and across campuses).

Administration can sometimes be weak - my first sallary was two weeks late, but after that initial hiccup things were fine.

Pass more administrative responsibilities to individual departments - the centralized model can be unwieldy and slow at times.
