Pros

Great location if you like a smaller city and lots of nature. Campus is well-maintained. Many friendly staff and co-workers.

Cons

When I was employed there, it was a tough season for the university as a whole. I was really excited when hired on then it felt like I was running my own startup instead of being able to focus on my specific role. However, as I was transitioning out, a new department director was hired and I could tell they knew what they were doing and could guide and train well. A new CEO was also brought on as I was leaving so I hope things already changed for the better.

Pros

Flexibility with schedules while in school. Easy to balance student work positions with classes. You get a lot of opportunity to talk to the leaders of the school if you want. Everyone is pretty accessible.

Cons

Compensation isn't great, although it has been getting a bit better. Things have been changing a lot every year, so expectations, compensation, leadership and everything was different year to year.
