Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing, this was by far the most disorganized and awful place I've ever worked.

Cons

I was bullied by a professor and fired for reporting it. Toxic environment filled with cliquey, low status professionals.

Pros

The professors' level is as good as you can expect around NY Metro Area. There is little oversight, which might be good for experienced educators and self-starters.

Cons

All faculty and staff are overwhelmed with what is required of them and their workloads. As a result, there is very little involvement in the TAs activity, almost no communication and feedback. Basically you are left to fend for yourself, and there is no system in place in case there are weather-related delays or emergencies.
