Pros

Some coworkers share the "work hard" mentality and there are many wonderfully talented people still there.

Cons

Execs and senior management have no concern for morale or a work/life balance. They will tell you to your face someone else is waiting for your position so put your head down and work, if you don't like it then leave. There is no down time and most weeks you work 70+ hours. No opportunity to work from home; if your butt is not in your seat the assumption is you're not working. Unrealistic expectations for how long it takes to perform tasks, run reports, obtain information due to convoluted and band-aided system upon system. Benefits are mediocre and team-building is non-existent. No focus or direction from upper management; just keep doing your job and don't ask questions.

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.
