They don't live according to their own Mission statement

Pros

Some hard-working colleagues. Beautiful campus.

Cons

New VP given full reign to "restructure" in any way he deems appropriate (or rather, inappropriate) causing extremely low morale. Considering the mission statement is about how others are treated, you would want your leadership to act accordingly. Not lead with malice and contempt.

Pros

Vacation will accrue fast. Free Master's Degree if you want it. Childcare on campus is nice. Beautiful campus.

Cons

Deans are desperate and nervous. They don't know how to do their jobs. They hire young "talent" to improve their struggles, but their new hire can't even conduct interviews properly. Marketing is so lost... they don't know how to help our enrollment numbers... They complain about budget non-stop. Our recruiters are awful....they don't hire people with personality to build rapport with our students.... This is FAR FROM a Catholic University.........their beliefs....and who they hire show it.... I've seen strong candidates for interviews come in and they are not picked. This University is struggling in enrollment, and it shows....and they don't know what to do moving forward to fix this.... Go to another University like I did. Don't work here.

Pros

Beautiful campus, nice staff, active performing arts center

Cons

Professors constantly pressured to lower academic integrity by having to change grades or attendance policies whenever a student complains. This place is so consumed with safe spaces and bowing down to whiners that they don't realize that these students are not being prepared to enter the real work world. The expectation is that they will always get their way, and they are in for a rude awakening when they have to leave their safe space and earn a living.
