Pros

Tuition waiver for yourself or dependents

Cons

Low pay. Cannot afford to live on just this salary alone. Raises are not adequate. Upper management is so out of touch with its employees. The one in charge of department locations used to work at the cafeteria, but because of connections, is now in a position making six figures. They don't even have a degree and they are constantly making a mess of things. They are now moving us to a building at the other end of campus and putting us into a room with no bathrooms, no running water, and little to no outside light. We have to go downstairs to get to the restrooms or have a private conversation. They could be using this building for classes, or people who need to be on campus to do their jobs. We do not need to be on campus. If you are going to make us be on campus, at least make the area nice instead of shoving us into a cramped, dark, room for 8-10 hours a day. The turnover rate for this department is the worst it has ever been. Everything was great until this current president came along. He has really ruined the morale of the faculty and staff.

Pros

Decent benefits options, great retirement, almost endless professional development opportunities, great schedule options.

Cons

The non-monetary benefits (insurance, amenities, professional development, schedule flexibility, etc.) are sometimes the only reason to stay. The salary alone is not sufficient to support an individual, let alone a family. Most employees work multiple jobs if they don't have other retirement or pensions coming in, and the University Administration will not acknowledge that fact. The AZ campus is entirely micromanaged and run from the FL campus, often without consultation or consideration. Facilities are old and cramped. There is a clear bias in resources distributed toward the FL campus versus the AZ campus. Just Google pictures and compare the two, and you'll see the difference in quality. Better yet, if you can tour both campuses, you'll see it firsthand. There are not enough classrooms and dorms for students, offices for faculty, or space in general from neglect and poor planning. Upper-management has a "shut up and color" mentality, and dismiss any collaboration or discussions for improvement. The President, Provost, Board of Trustees are all located in Florida, and the President only comes the the AZ campus for graduation and maybe a couple meetings a year. Extremely unclear expectations for tenure and promotion are causing severe morale issues that are driving faculty out. Very poor communication from leadership leads to an almost unlimited supply of bad decisions. This company entirely relies on their reputation to carry them through everything.

Pros

We get to work with our hands a lot and take ownership of any project we are willing to commit effort to.

Cons

I honestly can't complain. I'm paid to do what I like doing anyways.
