Pros
-Many people at DePaul recognize and value the humanistic mission of St. Vincent DePaul. -Full time is 35 hrs/week -Good retirement matching -Good amount of PTO, including summer hours and a week off between Christmas and New Years that doesn't detract from vacation days -Tuition benefit for you, your spouse/partner, children
Cons
-Low enrollment is causing financial troubles -There have been huge gaps in leadership lately - No provost in the last three years, senior people are often leaving to go on sabbatical elsewhere even though the university needs support -Somewhat shady admission processes that are rumored to benefit students who attended high school in higher income zip codes, which seems completely screwed up and counter to their mission. -Not a lot of room for individual advancement once you are hired into a position. -While benefits are good, professional staff salaries are often lower than market rates for comparable positions (this is not uncommon in higher ed)
