Pros

I really love working for Elon. It is hands down the best place I've worked in my life. The warm and fuzzies are real here. The benefits are great and you are encouraged to use.

Cons

Elon being such a great place to work as people don't want to leave which makes it difficult to advance. The pay is also on the low side.

Pros

This is an excellent place to work either as an adjunct or permanent professors. All levels of instructors, lecturers, professors are treated equally, fairly, and with great respect, by colleagues and university staff. Still excellent despite cons below.

Cons

Students are becoming more demanding in seeking grades that they do not deserve. While administration, colleagues and staff are respectful, students are less so. Some have attitude that professors are their servants.
