Pros

Pay is good for the area. Beautiful, new buildings on main campus.

Cons

Poor on-baording for new staff members. Little to no training or written posted protocols for campus procedures. Severely understaffed and most everyone is overworked. Several persons in leadership roles are not qualified to do their position as they would be at a more well established institution. Lack of professionalism amongst staff. Central IT and systems are outdated, not integrated, poor user interface and adds to staff work.
