Pros
Really "cut my teeth" here and learned a lot as a young professional in student affairs. Since it's such a small campus community you have the opportunity to wear tons of different hats and learn about many different facets of student affairs and campus culture. Beautiful campus, really enjoyed working with most of my co-workers. Felt supported in my professional development and had opportunities for self-directed growth. A big pro was the opportunity to pursue discounted graduate education as an employee. Had a positive relationship with my manager and most of my colleagues.
Cons
Not great work-life balance, even by student affairs standards. When I left there was lots of cross-departmental "drama" with some departments having long-standing grudges or feuds over petty things. I had a good relationship with my manager but heard nightmarish stories about how poorly some managers and department leaders treated their staff. University leadership mismanaged a series of crises during my time there and both staff and students lost trust in a lot of the administration. It's a top-down institution, so it was very challenging to enact meaningful change from the trenches. Definitely learned a lot, but I was ready to leave after a few years.
