Pros

The faculty in my department (Writing Studies) is very friendly and supportive; within certain parameters, the department leaders are open to and encouraging of fresh ideas in teaching, They have strong respect for the students, many of whom are minorities and/or the children of immigrants.

Cons

The pay for adjunct professors -- at any university -- is abysmal. At MSU, adjuncts can only teach two classes per semester, so many are employed at multiple universities, trying to make ends meet. The difference in pay between tenured profs and those who teach most of the classes (the adjuncts) is ridiculously large.

Pros

Really good treatment of employees and management works well with employees to resolve time conflicts.

Cons

Workload for a given day can be unpredictable based on the influx of people coming in needing help. Will need to be flexible and prepared to adapt as it expands.
