Pros

good salary, student-centered faculty, emphasis on quality teaching

Cons

The President, a classic workplace bully, demeans faculty by talking behind their back to other faculty and administrators. He has created a climate of fear and distrust and his passion for confrontation has been adopted by upper administration. Decisions are made that affect the faculty without faculty input and certain "bad cops" are used to intimidate those who speak out against the administration. He makes arbitrary decisions that favor his "pets" and he punishes those who don't play politics (he'll allow a favorite to attend an international conference but won't allow someone else to attend because of the "no international travel" policy - even if both faculty members have been accepted to present original research). The President has created a hostile work environment that is toxic.

Pros

In large part, the students are serious about their education. Faculty can teach independently without being micro-managed. Nice facilities at all three campuses. The connection with students and their appreciation makes it all worth it.

Cons

Difficult to become a full-time faculty member as there are many associate faculty. The compensation is fair, but for an associate faculty member it should be treated as a side gig in addition to another full-time job. Access to facilities for weekend classes is challenging as there is a lack of communication between security and weekend class coordinators.

Pros

Good benefits; lots of vacation and personal time; 8am - 5pm schedule so there is not a lot of overtime or working late;

Cons

Not a creative bunch overall; leadership doesn't seem to see how ineffective their middle management really is; much of the corporate culture involves many "thats not my job" people
