Fantastic team with willingness to invest in newest technologies.

Pay limited, but not a surprise given this is a state funded institution and the location.

Low pay, but great atmosphere, colleagues, and students.

Business Outlook

Pros

Students are committed and hardworking. Colleagues are professional, easy to get along with, and are supportive of each other. The cost of living in the area is very reasonable, and there are just enough things to do on campus and in town to keep interested and busy.

Cons

The pay has completely stagnated -- and it wasn't good before it stagnated. On average, faculty at Marshall make 70% of the national average salaries for positions in the same area. I took at huge pay cut to come to Marshall. Compounding the difficult financial situation is the fact that the Huntington City Council recently passed at 1% income tax. Between inflation, new taxes, and constant salaries (not even cost of living adjustments), it gets harder and harder to stay here each year.

A supportive place to work. Great mentorship. Students are a hit or a miss.

The salary is nowhere near comparable to national average. Faculty remain supremely underpaid.
