Pros

In general, staff, faculty, and students are great. Faculty care about student achievement. Flexibility - some positions allow for a ton of flexibility in scheduling. As another review mentioned, it's a good place to get started teaching, especially if you're available on campus during the days.

Cons

Morale - never a good thing when the President says, "any of your jobs are in jeopardy." Although raises have been pretty regular with the new President, however, before that, staff endured 7 years with no raises. Financial instability: constant worry about enrollment and budget. Annual (at least) staff eliminations using layoffs or organizational reorganization as a reason, and a push to remove staff from the previous admin. Bringing in former colleagues from other failing institutions. Diminished loyalty to staff and little-to-no professional development.

Pros

At least I have a job during COVID.

Cons

The leadership, except some of the faculty, are terrible. I hope we get a new president soon. The only time anyone tries to hide is when there is a witch hunt to find savings so jobs are attacked. Don't ask questions that aren't what the interim president wants to hear or you'll be next.

Pros

The faculty and staff are one big happy family and are very welcoming to new members; their interaction with and recognition of their students is endearing, admirable, and uplifting. Certainly a spirited school! Positive work environment and fun outings, strong with making new connections--they are a business university with a healthy focus on networking.

Cons

Low and infrequent pay for faculty. You'll be wise to consider teaching at Cleary (at least part-time) a hobby, not a job--because once you get a few bucks, you'll be thrilled!
