      Pros

      Friendly coworkers, reasonably good pay, beautiful settings and easy to commute to, good technology management and competent human resources staff.

      Difficult to advance within the university, preference often shown to those with an "in," financial management leaves a lot to be desired.

      Great business model for distance education. Improved management. Good location. Pleasant, helpful colleagues. New senior positions created. Some opportunity to work from home. New management in Office of Distance Education is more attentive, responsive, organized and supportive.

      Cons

      Management was less flexible than needed for supporting a professionally educated, master's degree level staff.
