Pros

Calm atmosphere and good employees. The health benefits are very good, but not great. To advance in salary you have to acquire a different title, they are not good at giving performance raises. You get 8 hours per month of annual leave and 8 hours of sick leave. After so many years you get 10 hours per month and then it goes to 15 hours per month.

Cons

Job growth is limited unless you are faculty.

Pros

Intelligent, driven, caring faculty in many areas

Cons

The management is overpaid, incompetent, dishonest, and present based on nepotism. People with no business being in a classroom, much less a corner office, are given control of entire academic labs, promoted to Vice Presidents and they harass staff and faculty to retain students who entered with an 11 ACT. The management regularly engage in unprofessional gossip, smear tactics, and back-biting--the type beyond the average academic department. You will see a clear line of someone's cousin, sorority sister, or friend being given a 100k salary and management title while they run around for someone to manage.

Pros

I loved working with the students.

Cons

Lack of support from upper management, the immediate supervisor is combative, rude, and confused; you, there is no room for growth, and they make their own policies without any system of checks and balances. You have no support. You have to watch your back, front, and side.
