Pros

Great people, solid benefits. The retirement plan is (was?) generous, as are the health benefits.

Cons

The college doesn't do a good job creating opportunities for people to expand and rise up and treats internal candidates for new positions without any preference or advantage. Salaries are low, but that is typical for Maine.
