Pros

Bob Jones provides great graduate assistant opportunities, with positions that completely pay for the degree plus some additional income. I've been able to get college level teaching experience while working on my graduate degree. My supervisor has an excellent balance between maintaining high expectations, yet trusting subordinates to make their own decisions. Overall, I've had a positive experience working on the faculty side. The school upholds high standards academically and spiritually and the mission is solid.

Cons

For full time staff and faculty, the pay is pretty low for an educational institution. But they are working to get pay up to standard. The school is going through a lot of transition with a new president and they are trying to find their place in an increasingly diversified educational marketplace. A school known for being fundamentalist christian, they are trying to distance themselves from the negatives of fundamentalism (legalism, external focus, harshness), while not leaving a solid commitment to God's truth. As such, there are often tensions that come along with change. This is definitely not a place for people who aren't committed Christians.
