Pros

The students are amazingly passionate, smart, and committed. I loved working with many of my colleagues who were professional, competent and dedicated. I also found the main campus to be beautiful to walk around.

Cons

It appears that University Life is not "safe" for anyone who is not beholden to the individuals in charge who all seem to have been promoted beyond their capacity to adequately perform their work duties. The work environment is toxic and the expectations are beyond the job description and paygrade. I have never encountered so many bullies and back stabbers!

Pros

The staff is really great! Working for a university makes you feel more apart of the community.

Cons

If you're coming from a corporate world and still feel the need for speed, then you may not enjoy it here. Everything moves very slowly and decisions can't be made without meetings upon meetings.
