Pros

Some students are great.

Cons

Students are very underprepared for a real academic environment. No intellectual culture in certain departments. Curricula more for high school level than college. No job security. Low pay. No training. Adjuncts are evaluated by student feedback forms only, not faculty or peer evaluations. Incentives to inflate grades and suck up to students - as opposed to offering a real intellectual experience. Creates weird power structure. Sloppy HR practices. Sketchy communication. Stay away and work for another school.

Pros

Beautiful, clean, and conveniently located campus. Great food trucks! Lots of space to go for a walk and clear your head or sit on a bench and look at some trees. Nice benefits.

Cons

Temple is very large and very siloed, so if you work in one department, don't expect to be able to move more easily to another part of the school than you would if you were just a random unknown applicant. Once you start working it will be clear which people there genuinely care about the school and passionately work to make it better, and which once just clock in and clock out and won't do a single thing that's not listed in their official job description. But that's bureaucracy for you!
