Pros

The people are great. There is flexibility to work from home. There is a clear message from the CEO about the importance of the company's contribution to the higher education landscape, although profits are still important. There is opportunity for advancement as the company grows and changes. There is a set of clearly defined initiatives and goals for the year.

Cons

Business is in a state of constant change that isn't managed well. There are often different groups working on the same issue/challenge without coordinating efforts. It's sometimes hard to stay updated on information you need to be effective. Some areas are understaffed where others have excess capacity, so the workload isn't evenly distributed.

Pros

Working from home. Low level people are very nice and concerned about their clients.

Cons

Another round of layoffs. You let go ten percent and you don't even tell the rest of the company. Established a curve that during reviews, 30% would be above average, 60% would be average, and 10 % below average. Raises would depend on which group you were rated into, and how much you make compared to the average salary for your position. We were led to believe that 10% would get no raise; turns out they were fired instead.
