Pros

Beautiful campus since the campus is one huge arboretum. No matter how stressed you get, you can always take a walk and look at the beautiful plants and flowers.

Cons

Its extremely difficult to bring necessary change to a campus that prides themselves on being a community, but cannot fully define what that community is. Are you are part of the community because you were hired or do you have to be there for a certain period of time. Without this understanding, the views of new people are discounted and described as going against the community.

Pros

The staff is incredibly fortunate to be able to work with such a smart student body and alumni community.

Cons

Overall staff size is small, making upward movement difficult, but if you know that going in, you can still get a lot from the work experience. On the downside, with a smallish staff, poor managers can wreak havoc.
