Pros

We are located in the mountains of NC so we have a beautiful campus. Boone is a rural area so you are not around all of the fast paces of a larger metropolitan area. Faculty and staff are friendly and cordial to one another.

Cons

Lately, in education, or at least our department, there is a high attrition rate. It would be nice to see more efforts and flexibility in supporting opportunities for employees to be able to work from home. There is an issue of equitability in the pay structure for positions. An Associate Director in one department could have a $7-10,000 difference.

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.
