      Great musical legacy, good work/life balance, mediocre planning and management.

      Pros

      A love of music, laid back, casual atmosphere. Work/life balance is generally very good, but could be even better with improved project planning. Benefits are good, lots of time off.

      Cons

      People who have been here for 10 years or more are routinely at odds with folks who have worked in other businesses recently and have more organizational, strategic, and process experience. Morale is an issue, there's an undercurrent of eye-rolling and some political struggles.

      The worst IT Operations Department I've ever seen

      Pros

      Days off and vacation. The college closes for several reasons during the year. Lots of different types of tech. It's in Boston and close to the T

      Cons

      You will get paid more elsewhere. You will work with more talented people elsewhere. Turnover in ITOPS is high. Systems team consists of mostly Jr. Admins. Not hard working. Management knows little of what their teams do. They don't and have not used industry best practices. Budgets are low and limiting. Lots of silo's and team members all work on different things. Meetings will take up your (and your teams) time making your team less effective. System admins are mostly ticket jockeys. Telecommute discouraged. The culture often dictates that as soon as you get a worthwhile teammate they will find a way to leave for a place where they are valued, leaving you with all their work and none of their skill. No process adherence or compliance in the few cases where there are processes to follow. Hard work and above average performance is not rewarded. Lazy and low performing team members are not held accountable.
