Pros

Berklee has really been a terrific place to be a faculty member. The strong union here has made amazing strides for us over the years. Everyone I work with is really on their game, and the administration is very attentive to the difficult issues facing colleges these days. And a lot of the students are amazingly talented.

Cons

The school can be very expensive for students, which I find concerning.

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
