Pros

The benefits a great, and so is Dr. Taylor, the President.

Cons

Until you get in with the right cliques, you'll never succeed. There are two specific ladies in upper leadership who are particularly heinous about playing " chess". They run all of Enrollment Management. Don't expect it to change, just expect the behavior.

Pros

Friendly, supportive environment — it's a very friendly work environment with helpful faculty members, and many reviewers mention a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.

Cons

Low stipend/pay — the stipend is relatively low compared to similar positions at other universities, and it's described as needing greater stability.
