Pros

Small school and thus not overburdened with work. Personalized attention is given to students and great assistance is provided for students.

Cons

Limited working hours and thus hard to earn enough money from this job. The job is also too competitive thus hard to get. Many people give up in the process.

Pros

The community is incredibly close and there are strong teach to student relationships built over 4 years. There is much flexibility in obtaining a specific degree and the smaller class sizes expose you to a much more intimate relationship with your classmates.

Cons

We are sometimes viewed as a lesser school due to the liberal arts nature and the fact that we are not a "target school," sometimes discouraging employers for taking us in for opportunities.

Pros

Excellent benefits, time off, and attention to family life. There is a tight network in most departments and people tend to stick around and develop their lives around their work.

Cons

For new hires in staff, there is a gray area between work-life and finding a balance can be incredibly difficult.
