Business Outlook
Pros
Interesting colleagues and good facilities. Reasonable work/life balance. Once you have a job you can usually work it as long as you want; job security is pretty good. The town of Bloomington is dynamic and a good place for a young family.
Cons
Advancement is very difficult. Positions are stratified and there's not much room for growth. The University dominates the town and community and so it tends to be arrogant in its dealings with staff; people have few alternatives if you want to remain in Bloomington. Compensation, unless you're working at the highest administrative or academic levels, does not seem to be very competitive.
