Pros

Honestly, there are none I can think of

Cons

Remote work is only for certain teams. In office mandates vary widely. Pay is far below market rate according to a compensation study that was commissioned by the college. Health insurance costs are rising and plans are getting much worse for 2025. Clear animosity towards staff and faculty particularly the unions which face union busting efforts from a notorious union busting law firm hired by the college. Managers will give you stellar performance reviews and feedback on the regular only to deny you opportunities for growth later on with no valid reasons given. Pay inequity. Management at seemingly almost every level is weak and ineffectual, with unfair/uneven treatment towards different employees based on who knows what. Policies indicate a lack of concern regarding retaining solid talent. High turnover in all areas/levels, including the VP level. Financial/fundraising strategies are questionable. Public relations is sort of in the gutter following recent events. There are probably some other things I am forgetting right now.
