Pros

Small classes, opportunity to interact with students in small groups or one-on-one and to have an actual impact on their career development.

Cons

Faculty are absolutely not valued by administration which is a detriment to work morale. More teaching than in a community college with too little pay. Management sometimes demands extra teaching hours without paying overtime. A valid tenure and promotion manual doesn't exist, and promotions are seemingly given according to sympathy. Most faculty are on one year contracts only. Plans for improvement usually turn out to be lip service. Also, no monetary resources for teaching are given by management. Buildings and facilities outdated to the point of posing safety risks. This may give an indication about the school's use of tuition money and makes one really question the "Everything for the students" mantra. It's hard to justify towards the students who expect more value for their money. The amount of tuition paid would, properly managed, easily allow for upgrades past those made in the Bronson era.
