Pros

Traditional salaries and benefits offered with many choices (although medical benefits are expensive). Good career growth prospects as they do often promote from within. Don't have unrealistic expectations on amount of work required and employees can usually work remotely.

Cons

Job insecurity as they have one to two rounds of layoffs every year and often replace longterm employees with contractors. Frequently making decisions to save money leaving the impression that profit rather than providing quality education or helping improve employees' situation is paramount. Seem to prefer very young, right-out-of-college candidates when hiring, presumably to save money, but creating a lack of age diversity in staff.

Pros

Great collaboration with highly professional colleagues who truly care about teaching and education. Work remotely.

Cons

Insufficient training for the many responsibilities of the position. Insufficient follow-up from the upper administration on said responsibilities. Workload increased to levels that made completion of said workload difficult (with putting in extra hours without added compensation) to basically impossible. Difficult to change roles (at least, in my position). Many additional hours away from the classroom, which greatly disrupted educational continuity.
