Heading straight for the iceberg

Pros

Good people and students. Friendly and informal work culture. Acceptable facilities. Campus has a business casual, neighborhood-y feel to it.

Cons

Financially the school is on very thin ice. Lots of behind-the-scenes politics that protects low-performing faculty and administrators. Longtime employees disappear, never to return, quickly and for no apparent reason. The faculty itself is being systematically hollowed out through non-replacement of quitting/retiring full-time faculty members. These vacancies are being filled by a small army of adjuncts who are paid far less than full-time faculty. Class sizes are swelling every semester. It's becoming a glorified community college. The future is bleak.

Pros

The students are amazing to work with and some staff are great. Fine for a first job, but not somewhere you'll want to stay.

Cons

High turnover is not good for morale or for student support - relationships are not sustained. Staff who do good work aren't rewarded - staff in the 'cliques' and who create drama are. Some senior leadership are bias. Lots of favoritism. HR doesn't take action against this.

Pros

Students and Staff are great. We get a generous amount of time off.

Cons

Constant flux. People stress over nothing, and make small things major catastrophes.
