Pros

Great work environment. Nice campus. everyone is friendly. I have been here for three years. they pay employee tuition for degree. I got a Master degree here in two years when I am working as full time. Great place to live. Very peaceful.

Cons

less activities comparing with big cities. The town is too small and sometime is boring. Too far from big cities. The closest ones are Charlotte and DC which is 3 hrs and 4 and half hrs away.

Parochial attitudes and cronyism thrive; diversity is limited; local employee pool is overrun with country bumpkins.
