Pros
They have deep roots in the community and the university
Cons
The culture at the campus store is heavily influenced by long-standing social dynamics that can be difficult for newcomers to navigate. Communication is often indirect, and there is a noticeable tendency toward 'behind-the-scenes' reporting rather than direct conflict resolution. The director at that time was protective of established staff at the expense of a healthy, inclusive culture for newer employees. It is an environment that would benefit from more modern, transparent leadership practices.
