Pros

Flexible schedule. Lots of time off for holidays.

Cons

People are not friendly at Tuck School. Many love to walk by you and stick their nose in the air after you say hello. Not a lot of opportunity for advancement. You have to pay to park here ($30/month) and half the time students take your parking. You witness things you can't believe are allowed/unchecked yet staff is overly restricted.

Pros

Dartmouth is very supportive of having healthy employees and offered great motivators to get people working out. Benefits are good if you work there full time and for a long time (3+ years).

Cons

No opportunity for advancement - you can just move from department to department. There is a huge divide between the faculty and upper management who are really poor managers. They also treat their support staff poorly and offer no recognition of quality work and no motivation to learn new skills or grow. Given how insular and small the community, they are not friendly to outsiders and most of the higher level managers have been there forever and are not open to new ideas. Since they are one of the only employers in the area people have no choice but to settle for poor paying jobs and no growth.

Not as good as I thought

Pros

A lot of nice colleagues who initially felt proud to be part of the Dartmouth community. Many hardworking people. Some departments are much better than others. Good benefits package.

Cons

Not listing my work area as it's niche, but there is a fair amount of toxic management. Bad behavior by management is swept under the rug. Salaries were not fair for the workload. Very little diversity. They like to talk about diversity, but there is some kind of disconnect there. It starts feeling more like just talking the talk. The area is beautiful, but the housing market is awful. Not much to do up there unless you like to ski. People talk about living in the "Dartmouth Bubble". After awhile, I understood what that meant. I also realized that it was clear who was on the inside and outside of that "bubble".
