Good pay and active campus life, but contract issues

Visiting assistant professor

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Good pay, with very active campus life

Cons

No formal infrastructure for mentoring visiting professors. I was held on four four years in a series of one year contracts, which, in retrospect, could have been consolidated into multi-year contracts
