Great people, bad C-suite management

Pros

Great staff, wonderful students, and the faculty are generally a lot less entitled than faculty tend to be elsewhere.

Cons

The top-level management is terrible across the board. Groups like IT are short-staffed and mismanaged to death, and there's total disconnect between the top-tier administration and the staff. Good employees are leaving, and the loss includes both institutional knowledge and great skills.

Pros

Staff care about the students. Free parking for staff. On commuter the line. Decent benefits.

Cons

Poor opportunity for advancement. Salaries are not posted. New staff often come in at a higher rate of pay than longtime staff, which is terrible for morale and office dynamics.
