Pros

Beautiful campus and a lot of opportunities to move around positions, events throughout the year on campus to attend, holidays + PTO

Disconnect between senior leaders and the rest of the Northeastern community, this pivot to One Northeastern yet nothing is done to help unify more especially along with the regional campuses, lack of transparency from the top down
