Pros

Lots of accessible resources for faculty, staff, and students.

Cons

Staff concerns about workload, leadership, and work accommodations are not taken seriously. Employees are expected to handle these issues on their own with little institutional support. Employees are retained and promoted with no regard to previous instances in which they supported bias, discrimination, and unhealthy working conditions. Responsibilities get piled on without regard to staff capacity. Toxic and hostile work environment. Work-life boundaries are not respected. High burnout. Low interpersonal trust. If you apply for a job here, get a solid sense of the unit culture during your interview.
