Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits offered are really great, campus is beautiful, coworkers are awesome (some), just wish the pay was better.

Cons

There is definitely a divide between faculty and staff which is sad. You do the work and others take credit for it. Faculty in Coordinator positions get paid six figures to do nothing and have staff do all the work.
