      Staff are overlooked and unsupported

      Pros

      Music is everywhere, and if you look at your overall goal as helping musicians grow and develop their skills this is a place where you can feel morally good about your job. If you are in a department that happens to have a good boss you can have a lot of autonomy.

      Cons

      There's no path to advancement or sense of overall community. It is extremely hard to find out what salaries they are offering for open positions. Annual raises aren't keeping pace with inflation, and HR will actively fight to keep from paying you any more than they feel they have to, to keep you from quitting. Their idea of providing 'professional development' for staff is a twice-a-semester workshop on "managing difficult conversations." Faculty are unionized; staff are not. In one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, it is increasingly difficult to afford to work here and live within easy commuting distance.
