Pros

Beautiful location. Faculty does valuable research. Relatively low salaries balanced by good benefits.

Cons

Personnel decisions made on whim. Poor atmosphere among admin staff, many of who are underworked with overlapping responsibilities. Management has little effective oversight and is able to make arbitrary decisions with no consequences. Demoralizing to know that student tuition, taxpayer money and donations from those with generous intentions are wasted. Contrast between administrative mismanagement and high quality, valuable research by faculty is striking.
