Pros

Cons
Some departments have it great, others have it very, very bad. Unfortunately, in my former department, a bully was allowed to rule unchecked. After turning the bully in for abuse of a colleague, the victim and myself were chastised. The bullying in this specific department has gone on for over the 4 years I had been employed and reported on numerous occasions. It was even reported to the CEO, yet the dept chair kept the person in place. It is unfortunate that highly educated people are subjected to management that has a practice style that dates back to the 60's before human resource management research had been compiled. It was no different than working in a factory.
