Is this your company?

If you're not prepared to kowtow to faculty even when they're well outside their area of expertise, you'll be unhappy - Anonymous employee Marshall University Employee Review

Pros

IT is a good department to work in because they try to stay current on the technologies used. There is also a very nice campus just outside, and the working environment is generally pretty laid back.

Cons

IT senior management really isn't very IT savvy. It folk are generally not respected by the faculty or the senior administration of the university, so you'll spend a lot of time pulling your hair out while people from outside your field with no experience get as big as or a larger say in what you should do with technology. There is literally no room for advancement. If you want to move up, you're basically going to have to quit and come back later.
