Pros

Mom- tenure track coworkers were helpful and collaborative

Cons

Tenure track coworkers and admin always asked us to take on extra classes when I already had 120 students. Most profs have to take on an extra class or teach summer school to make ends meet and can’t say no, so the department has no incentive to fix the issue

Pros

- you get to say you work for a university - they are inclusive i guess

Cons

Make no mistake: they do not care about you. You can give them 10 years of your life and they can dissolve your 'contract' on a whim. You will be working outside your contract ~1 month/year if you want to actually do your job. The benefits package is worthless, there aren't even any doctors in network within a 50 mile radius except some holistic practice and one guy with awful reviews. Most people you work with will be incompetent (many of the teaching faculty), and if you are good at your job you will wind up doing theirs too.
