Pros

Students, they are engaged, interested and warm Beautiful campus Lots of cultural programs and great exercise facilities

Cons

Staff members are not valued by Administration and therefore many systems and procedures are not well run because Administrators are faculty members who don't have any real world perspective. Morale is very low and poor managers do not hold people accountable, Poor morale is contagious! Staff pay is a good 25% below that of comparable universities while faculty pay is above, this reflects how staff members are valued and should be a warning. Patriarchal environment, women beware

Pros

People are nice generally, but I find that to be true only the lower down the hierarchy you go.

Cons

Leadership, especially the closer you get to the upper administration, tends to be wildly out of touch, has little to no supervisory skill, and seems to lack basic human compassion.
