Pros

Health Benefits and PTO

Cons

Leadership in admissions take all the credit for hard work done and don’t acknowledge anyone else. They treat people poorly as well in admissions. It’s not a good working environment. People are clearly unhappy

Pros

small community, lots of room to grow and become stronger

Cons

Very unprofessional environment, lots of drama, bosses are the most unprofessional individuals you will ever come across. I've seen management plot against employees to get rid of them for no reason.

Pros

In general people are nice, vacation time is very good, sense of community. Was much better with former President. Could be a spectacular place if they could get a heart AND be effective.

Cons

People in charge, in general have no clue on how to run a university. Promotions are based on who you know. Often inept people are hired because the supervisor does not want competition so they hire the less skilled person. So called "nationwide" searches are not really done. They will often only interview the person they have chosen without really looking. Upper management needs to take some courses on how to run a university. PhD's are often the worst business people/managers. very chaotic; constant change and brutal behavior do not equal improvement just the appearance that something is happening. no one is buying the Charade. It's a shame because it could be a really good place. HR is useless, tool of those in charge to perpetuate their power.
