Pros

Great environment (campus), facilities, and resources. Endless opportunities to continue education and stay immersed in academic environment while learning on the job skills. Great work environment with friendly and caring coworkers including other staff members, faculty, upper management, and student employees

Cons

Serious lack of interdepartmental communication and not listening to suggestions from the staff members who are on the ground floor and witness and experience the daily issues that could be remedied or at least addressed but because upper management and/or faculty do not experience these issues, it is out of sight, out of mind, and therefore, ignored. Additionally, ignorance of staff members who prove to be versatile and knowledgeable in multiple areas and who also consistently go above and beyond what is expected of them. Sadly, even when it is noticed, staff is neither notified nor rewarded for their hard work.

Pros

-helping students -talking about music

Cons

-forced to train the ai bot that will replace you -despite being the top performer on your team and being reassured repeatedly your job is secure, you will get laid off with no explanation or respect -c suite prefers to keep their 500k+ salaries and 80k+ bonuses even if it means laying off 80+ employees who only make 55k -CEO led first layoffs in berklee's entire history, no transparency with any managers, no discussion or anything -CEO used money "saved" from layoffs to give other employees bonuses and buy unnecessary property
