Pros

-Great name and opportunities to work with students -Diversity amongst student body and staff -ERG groups are doing great work with events like movie screenings,etc.

Cons

-Cost of living is high (and only getting worse with inflation). Administration is doing nothing to increase pay -Zero-low opportunities to negotiate salary -Staff are valued less here. Creates friction between staff and faculty -The office can come off as cliquey- only a small portion of the staff has been there over 5 years and never worked in any other admissions office so there’s a lack of perspective -High turnover -Management is poor -very risk-averse
