Pros

They give you a lot of personal autonomy as an instructor... until they don't.

Cons

Their faculty consists of almost entirely adjuncts The pay is incredibly low, it has not been increased since 2019, and they do not have any interest in raising it for any reason. They would rather you quick than pay you more. The administration is horribly incompetent and unsupportive of faculty. They are suffering financially due to increasingly lower and lower enrollment each year, so they court students who are woefully unprepared for college, and they will do anything to keep those students enrolled, including forcing you to pass them even when you know they are using AI to cheat. They are desperate to keep their athletes because their sports teams are their main source of enrollment, so they will side with athletes over literally anyone. This includes students of marginalized communities who are frequently bullied by the athletes. I witnessed several several trans students get relentlessly bullied and receive no aide from the school, and often, they would even be punished rather than the bullies. Those athletes know the power they wield, and I also witnessed them complain about a trans professor (who was amazing) until the school fired her. They were also sued by the former president for gender-based discrimination, and the new president is a big Trump supporter.

Pros

New England College is an excellent place to work. In particular, there is a congenial and collaborative culture that I appreciate, and faculty, staff, and senior leadership are focused on helping students succeed.

Cons

I can't think of any cons specific to NEC, budgets in Higher Education can be tight, and a lot is asked of employees.
