Pros

The benefits a great, and so is Dr. Taylor, the President.

Cons

Until you get in with the right cliques, you'll never succeed. There are two specific ladies in upper leadership who are particularly heinous about playing " chess". They run all of Enrollment Management. Don't expect it to change, just expect the behavior.
