Pros
Great benefits, New York State Retirement System, UUP Union for faculty and professionals, and decent pay for the area which has a very reasonable cost of living..
Cons
Under the current leadership at the College of Nursing, the deparment has the most hostile working environment I have ever encountered. The dean and associate dean are both insulting, belittling monsters that seem to delight in reducing both faculty and staff to tears for absolutely no good reason at all. The dean has placed some kind of untruthful, trumped up disciplinary warning in nearly everyone's personnel file and in the last 15 months, 10 people have left - 5 faculty (including tenured faculty) and 5 staff. This mass exodus alone from such a small department should say it all.
