University totally revamped 10 years ago. More physical growth than academic experience.

Pros

Congenial atmosphere. Lovely physical plant. Holiday bonus. Yearly gift like jackets, ipads etc

Cons

Not a lot of support for depth of academics. Strong focus on admissions correlating to dollars. Singular vision with little room for other voices. It's the administrations university, not the students.

Pros

coworkers are fantastic, employee wellness works hard to improve employment experience. added "gifts" throughout the year - campus cash, xmas bonus, welcome back gifts you will learn some skills that will be highly valued at other institutions when you move on

Cons

mentality of this is how we did it for the last 10 years so why change even though things are no longer working. leadership has no previous experience in higher education and is very disconnected with recruiting teenagers in 2010s You are told you are a manager of your territory but really your job is to just do as you are told and make 100s of phone calls constantly. The hours: avg hours per week range from 40-80 and you are expected to put the university above all else extremely high turnover - avg of 1 person every 6 weeks for the past several years below to avg salary department has essentially become a call center, its all selling and very little counseling
