Pros

Excellent co-workers although this is dwindling as the good ones keep leaving.

Cons

The only upside to working at Excelsior are my immediate co-workers. The senior leadership is deaf and continue to spend money unnecessarily to fill more, worthless leadership roles. Career advancement doesn’t exist. There is no freedom at Excelsior. Either you get in-line behind a narcissistic provost and a clueless president or you get out.

Everyone cares about their work and people want to get things done. Its hard to find this level of passion. There are many opportunities to progress in your career and management loves to hear about ideas that will help to provide a better service to students.

Cons

Like nearly all non-profits the pay may be relatively low compared to for-profit companies, but they pay highly compared to other non-profits.
