Pros

- Phenomenal students and colleagues who are all invested in rethinking higher ed - Low-ego, supportive deans - Collaborative teaching and curriculum development process means professors are constantly learning from each other - Encouragement to publish/share knowledge in high-impact forums, including non-scholarly publications but no pressure

Cons

- Giving great formative feedback to foster deeper learning takes a lot of time! This can be a challenge for new professors. - Professional growth in an absolute sense is relatively limited since there is no concept of tenure (also a pro!)

Pros

Good people on the ground (faculty and staff) wanting to support students

Cons

Pay is below higher education standard No retirement (most other schools have CalPERS or CalSTERS) No Matching 401k (they offer a plan, but match 0%) No holidays off- you have to ask for approval to take any days off. You also do not accrue vacation days so nothing is ever 'owed' to you, and if you quit or are fired, there is no cushion No severance A really depressing and overworked culture at the institution A vacuum of leadership has led to a lot of issues, including a no-confidence vote of the president Currently NO budget for professional development, travel, or discretionary spending No work-life balance Financial situation is precarious

Cons

Busy seasons are really chaotic, the university is very much still in a start up/growth mind-set, tech is home grown.
