Pros

Faculty and staff are all very warm, caring people and share a common Christian core. The campus is beautiful and includes a cafeteria, food court, post office, gym, and library - all of which are available to employees. Great location (Nashville). Tuition discounts are available for employees and their children, as well as other great benefits. Employees tend to stick around for long periods of time.

Cons

Low salaries (as is common in most private higher education institutions). Many departments are short-staffed. Summers are slow for staff because students are off campus.

Not too bad, but some changes to management style should be made.

Pros

Most coworkers are good caring people and are willing to bend over backward to assist you if you have a problem.

Cons

Employees fear termination if they voice honest opinion if it differs from the party line. Upper management refuses to take advice from the people who actually work in their areas of expertise (and areas that management is not expert in). Extremely high levels of micromanagement from upper management team, specifically president's office.
