Pros

Excellent culture under previous administration.

Cons

The new administration is more concerned about budget than the welfare of students or staff. They are cutting programs without researching the consequences first. I had students routinely come to me because they did not feel emotionally safe on campus (due to sexual assault and race issues). Lafayette does not believe in merit raises for staff. You will start at a low salary and only get a 2% cost-of-living increase each year. My salary was not enough to live in this area, leaving me no choice but to resign.

Pros

Beautiful work environment, flexible schedule, generous sick time policy. Vibrant campus with lots of interesting cultural activities. Generous college tuition benefit for your children.

Cons

I was promised raises, benefits, and growth opportunities that never materialized. This is a common complaint among co-workers. There is also limited opportunity for growth. College administration has a history of telling workers that if they want more opportunities or better pay, they will have to go elsewhere.
