Pros
great benefits, including a generous retirement contribution. Generous vacation time for professional staff. Some very hard-working staff who care about the university and its students, some of the best coworkers I have ever had. My direct supervisor is immensely supportive of the staff in my office, and shows respect and appreciation for the work they do. The students are very motivated and ambitious, partly due to the coop program and the experience they gain. They have high expectations, keeping you on your toes to work with them. There are plenty of opportunities to be creative in order to meet their needs.
Cons
President Aoun is a petty little man, who seems to think he's morally and intrinsically superior to everyone else, just because he's the president of a university. He's an autocrat who shows no respect for the people who work for him. Professional staff are treated like second-class citizens, and faculty are treated only somewhat better. There have also been instances where he has been shut down to students, the prime constituents of our university. He lashes out at any one who offers constructive criticism. He has started chipping away at some staff benefits, such as the 4 day work week in the summer.
