Pros

Great faculty colleagues, lovely campus, sweet students, good benefit package for full-time employees. Small class sizes are a plus! Parking is easy.

Cons

Stunningly poor senior leadership have led to a lack of morale in all sectors of campus. HR needs to be replaced and school fails to support its most dedicated employees.

Pros

Beautiful campus and location; students who want to make a difference

Cons

Administration is completely out of touch, starting at the very top; supervisors routinely trash talk employees to one another and externally; advancement is promised but rarely followed through; the lack of diversity in staff and faculty is astounding, particularly given the negative press the institution has received on the topic; the administration cares more about being at press conferences and ribbon cuttings than truly living out the mission
