Pros

The professors are some of the best and brightest, unfortunately the pros end here..

Cons

They lose and mishandle everything, from payment information to records. It is actually amazing how bad they are at their jobs and the fact they keep their jobs is inexplicable.

Pros

The best reason to work at Howard University as a tenured Professor is the students and the freedom of time. For a working stiff it is the closest thing to being free.

Cons

The downsides are that the organization is generally inefficient and the pay is lousy! The poor pay comes with the territory of not really having a lot of management oversight for the faculty.
