Pros

Unity College is a very small (600 student) college in a nice but very rural and poor part of central Maine. It is a good place for academics focusing on teaching and the environment. The faculty are mostly highly committed to their fields and their students. The school hires many adjuncts to provide an expanded experience for students.

Cons

The facilities are poor, the pay is below average, and the current administration is second rate and prone to snap judgments, public negativity, and even yelling. This is not surprising because with a third tier school, poor budget, and low salaries, administrators from Deans right up to the President are hired who don't have previous experience suited for their jobs. Campus dissatisfaction and grumbling is rampant with the faculty recently on the verge of a vote of no confidence in the President.

Pros

Stable/predictable. Upon completing onboarding managing caseload is straightforward with a simple cadance to work.

Cons

Performance gets additional work with no compensation, metrics only used to penalize not reward. Management style is poor and seems to exist solely to isolate workers into very tiny pools of interactions. No meaningful feedback loop, with vital information getting outright ignored for long periods until it balloons into larger problems. While individuals can be exceptional the structure prevents meaningful communication between departments. Decisions will go live with no communication and expectations that others clean up messes from changes no one knew was coming. With the students being the ones to suffer the worst consequences.
