Pros

Great colleagues and students, (mostly) caring community feeling, beautiful campus, decent benefits package. Despite all the Cons listed below, faculty and staff work hard to do an outstanding job of delivering a great education to DelVal's students. Very happy to see new leadership in the president's office.

Cons

The former president's goal of achieving university status overwhelmed the organization's capital and human resources, faculty and staff that survived the transition are exhausted. Morale is very low overall. The relationship between faculty and administration is not what it could and should be. Staff keeps their mouths shut for fear of losing their jobs. A few individuals in key upper management positions were allowed to create a culture of fear, discouragement and frustration, thereby making a mockery of DelVal's "Core Values."

Pros

Beautiful campus, some truly excellent proffessors.

Cons

Huge numbers of "do nothing" employees hiding throughout the organization. Competent employees are over-worked in order to cover the gap. Several employees in my division brought their own computer devices in so that they could surf the web and watch Netflix undetected (for YEARS). In these cases, their managers were aware of the situation, but as they also did very little themselves, they were happy to keep the status quo so as not to out themselves.
