Pros

You know you're working at a great place when most people around you seem happy in general and especially with their jobs. People are friendly and positive. They are exceedingly good at recognition. Campus is awesome in terms of layout and renovations - newer technology than many other schools. I was a student there starting in 1999, completed my Associates but also took several more classes there over a span of 12 years because of what they offered and I loved the school so much. It was a personal goal for a long time to work there - one day I finally got the chance and it was great.

Cons

It's seems pretty competitive to get a full time or tenure job there. You really have to work on your relationships there so your name and performance is known. It could take years. I don't think this is different than it would be at any other credible institution though. Also - just like all colleges in a poor economy you're going to have a ton of adjuncts getting paid very little so they don't have to pay benefits etc. That's kind of standard nowadays, even though it stinks.

Pros

People are paid competitively and management and HR really listen to employees. The benefits and paid time off are outstanding and well above what you find in business.

Cons

There are no benefits for part-timers. Many part-timers have full-time jobs elsewhere, so it is not necessarily an issue for everyone.
