Pros

Very friendly and supportive administration and colleagues, though I think this would depend on your department. Classes within the School of Music were wonderful to teach because the students are so great. The School of Music in general is a great place to be employed because of the tight-knit nature of the group.

Cons

Mostly the students, they can be a handful depending on what course you are teaching. If you ever teach classes for non-majors(regardless of field), be prepared to grow thick skin. They must have put something the water - entitlement up the wazoo. As an adjunct music faculty member it can be hard to keep a consistent course load, especially if you're new. Unless you have a tenured position-which, let's be honest, are hard to come by these days-the number of classes you teach can fluctuate semester to semester, and therefore your salary does, as well.

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.
