Pros

There are some really great people who work at Columbus State who work really hard and care about each other and students. The work-life balance is wonderful.

Cons

It's disturbing how outdated the college is. You would think a college is a place where new ideas, fresh perspectives, diversity, and healthy debates are the norm, but that isn't the case on the administrative side of the institution. Many great ideas for advancing the college have been shut down or paused and lost in the practice of consensus management and never-ending vetting. People are afraid to make decisions, so they don't. OSU is referenced in too many meetings, keeping CS from becoming a truly unique college. Executives are out of touch with employees, and they don't communicate or ask for feedback. Leaders need to walk the talk of being in a mission driven institution.

Pros

The students ,faculty and some staff are what makes it bearable. The pay is not bad, there is a lot of favoritism at review time.

Cons

Administration didn't think that some one working there for more than 5 years was flexible. A lot of supervisors have no training in supervising. Communication is the only what you need to know to do your and the nice to know that will not effect the outcome of a decision. If you are inherited. There are some people that can get away with doing the minimum

Pros

I believe there is something great at the College as a whole. The segment of students, I believe are the wave of the future and will be the core of tomorrow's workforce. Thanksgiving week and Christmas/New Year's shutdown!

Cons

There needs to be a holistic review of the mid-level management. Just because someone has an online master's or doctorate does not make them a leader or proper manager. Executive level should see why good people are leaving. They don't want to play mind games or continue to be beat down. The manipulation, control, mental oppression really sucks the life out of the dept. Zero professional development or true guidance/betterment from this "director". These opinions are only of one department/office and should not be seen as a reflection of the College as a whole.
