Pros

None that I found personally. A few nice people.

Cons

My personal exp- This was a smaller school that grew but still acts and thinks small toward students and staff. Outdated process and procedure.. Anitiquated business practice and teaching styles accepted. Extremely poor management from the top down with no way to address employee concerns about wrong doing in the system. Bias w women and minorities. If you speak out or complain you will be retaliated against and made an example of with some sort of punishment and there is no way to do anything about it. Big divide between staff and faculty. Extremely poor wages with little to no reward for performance..You can be a admin in the presidents office and make $70k but be a director in a dept and barely make $50k and be overworked. Faculty and administration treat staff like servants. No room for growth or promotion. Dead end entity. People leave like a revolving door and no one cares. All this indifference only hurts students with constant turn over which creates no stability or consistency with qualified caring, experienced staff. I've never seen a university run this poorly and indifferent to students over faculty/admin own personal benefit and egos. You have a lot of entitled white men running the show. The rest of us don't matter.

Pros

Highly interactive job where you meet lots of different students and form connections

Cons

I don't like the administration changes that they have implemented in 2026. It more dictatorial now and tutor who are the face of their organization are not given much voice.
