      Pros

      -Most of the staff, faculty and students are pretty friendly, there is no attitude of arrogance or cut throat competition. People talk to each other and get along well (for the most part). -DC has many cultural and other amenities. -Howard has a strong academic reputation.

      Cons

      -The university bureacracy is simply insane. Doing the smallest thing may take months of effort. -Many faculty are not paid on time and grants may be frozen because of bureacratic mistakes.

      There is no respect for employees who don't have a degree.

      Pros

      I came to Howard because of the remission of tuition program. The benefits were outstanding at the time I came to Howard.

      Cons

      It is very hard to enroll and use the remission of tuition benefit. The University does not have online undergraduate classes, and your supervisor have the option of letting you attend classes during the day. You will never be able to attend a class because there is no one to cover your shift. Howard does not give pay rises unless you are union employees.
