Pros

It will hire you when no one else will. In other words, they don't care if you're good or not, they just want a warm body. They have hired friends of friends even if those friends are not qualified for the jobs and they have promoted those people to high positions, without them paying their dues. So if you are stupid but breathing, apply. They'll hire you. They don't even check references, so you can lie on your aplication. And if you are black, then you are definitely going to be hired, since they seem to want to hire people of color more than anyone else. very unfair.

Cons

Absolutely awful management at the top. The president is totally out of touch with the students and their needs. He doesn't even solicit their input on graduation speakers or important things like that. The benefits are OK but morale is lower than a mole's hole. If you want to be depressed every day, get a job at NOVA (or NVCC) or whatever they choose to call it these days. I t hink it's NOVA. You also have to fight to get a parking spot. They need more parking. And the human resources people are out of touch with today's laws and regulations. YUCK.
