Pros

Some very talented faculty work here and provide excellent learning experiences for students and make for wonderful colleagues.

Cons

Often, in this School in particular, the lack of strong leadership leads to turnover and sometimes a very toxic working environment. This isn't a disgruntled employee rant - this is a true problem that should be addressed as the School loses quality educators every year.

Pros

Generous professional development fund offered to employees

Cons

There is a severe issue with bias and demoralization, colleagues frequently devalue one another's efforts, diversity initiatives seem to be hollow gestures, and senior management neglects to address bullying behavior. The Human Resources department appears more interested in protecting the organization than resolving conflicts, and there is a worrying tendency for the employers to respond with retaliation when these concerns are raised.
