      Pros

      A grand institution with an important mission. The students and faculty are first rate.

      Cons

      An administrative nightmare. This is the most poorly run place I have ever worked. Staff is unresponsive and slow.

      Pros

      Helping students, my colleagues, doing my job in general. I enjoy the job.

      Cons

      Management avoids accountability. Things cannot be done without a workaround. They promise increased pay, but ignore you and make excuses when its time to act. The universities owed me several thousands of dollars for almost 2 years. All i get in return is how this person was sic, called out, new people hired, etc. This places is very poorly run. Lab equipment is very outdated, and promises of new hardware are never honored (even when i attended the school as a student). Lastly i do not like that we are not giving students what they pay for in terms of facilities, and a complete education. This place is pretty much a clown college when it comes to anything other than professional majors. We take in regular students, and spit out clowns with no skill & massive debt.
