Pros

R1 research institution. Near nyc

Cons

Gross and widespread misconduct by faculty. Administration and leadership attempt to quiet complaints instead of addressing the issue. Facilities falling apart. Disorganization and incompetence at every level. General feeling of resentment and apathy among the graduate students. My passion for academia has completely died. Coming here was the worst decision I’ve ever made in my personal life and especially for my career

Pros

Great support and pay for adjuncts. It’s a bit above 8k per online course spread out biweekly. Small online class sizes. Little to no burden for adjuncts for adjusting syllabus or course logistics. Just grading and student support.

Cons

Very little! I’ve had a wonderful experience and enjoy working here.

Pros

co-workers are super nice, friendly and collaborative. Good flexibility in work arrangements. My immediate boss is nice.

Cons

Morale is quite low, and turnover is high. We are losing good people and goals are not being met. Senior Leader tell us to do more with less, and do not want constructive feedback. They don't lead by example, taking elaborate trips instead of being present and supporting staff. Rules don't apply to them. So disappointing, not what you would expect from a public university.
