Pros

Instructional colleagues are solid for the most part, and put so much time and care into the work. Students are varied and I like that.

Cons

Lots of extraneous busy work created by administrators who make a lot of money but do very little to enhance the college. Diversity is very basic here, black and white thinking, literally. Feels very midwestern and provincial in nature.
