Pros

K-State faculty care about student success. It's a very rewarding place to work and a wonderful atmosphere surrounds the campus and community. Manhattan is the quintessential college town and the students are very motivated.

Cons

Very few. Salaries are not as competitive as some other institutions but the cost of living and quality of life more than make up for this.

Pros

- fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

Cons

- pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
