Pros

The beautiful campus (even though parking is horrible).

Cons

Unless you are a narcissistic, incompetent, sluggish white male you will not be valued at this institution. Worker bees do everything, while management and executives take all the credit and try to paint a picture of a functioning institution. They are in a horrible financial situation, which affects daily like and morale. Faculty gossip to students and run a muck, but cannot be touched because of their union contracts. Salaries are a JOKE with no rooms for advancement. Some faculty make 120K+, while 40hr/w staff make 50k. Office budgets are so tight they can barley order office supplies without the President signing off first. HR does not help or intervene when managers abuse their staff. People are leaving in droves, almost every department has vacancies - some without the ability to refill positions. Staff are overwork, underpaid, under appreciated, overlooked and generally abused by managers that should not even be allowed to interact with the rest of society. I am banking on the University College shutting down in the next few years and the school closing its doors not too long after - at least that is what the place deserves. P.S. the diversity and inclusion content they push in the interview process is not real and will never be brought up again after you are on boarded-just saying.

Pros

It is a lovely campus and there are a select group of people here who have a heart for the success of students and RWU.

Cons

Unfortunately a lot of politics, lack of growth opportunity, inconsistent messaging, and lack of clear organizational structure. Unfortunately there is a great volume of people who are trying to push personal career goals over the benefit, health, and growth of the Institution and students.
