Pros
Working with students can be very fulfilling
Cons
Statewide leadership constantly bounces from one gimmick to another trying to solve financial problems, and fails every time. But, the people who suffer for that are not the failing leaders, but the rank-and-file. Lafayette campus laid off several long-time faculty in 2020 and 2021. No job security for anyone who isn't a Systems Office vice-president, no accountability for anyone who is. Financial state of college will continue to be bad, layoffs will continue. Employee salaries are awful, but president either cannot or will not do anything about it. President seems set on turning Ivy Tech back into a vocational-technical college, consigning all other stuff to a centrally-managed online unit.
