I have been working at University of Pennsylvania full-time
Pros
You often get an extended winter holiday. Tuition benefits are a great plus!
Cons
You are not going to see a significant salary increase year to year, and no increase after provisional period. PTO great in comparison to some places, but not in comparison to others.
