Small college with a laid-back feel and some issues

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Typically laid-back groups of employees with smaller department sizes so you can get to know most everyone you work immediately with.

Cons

I found there to be a great deal of issues in the upper management levels - in addition to the usual petty politics, there seemed to be a lot of back-and-forth over who was responsible for certain issues. Lots of confusion at times with how things were supposed to be running. I found that a lot of times the students took a back-seat when it came to many issues.
