      One of the worst colleges ever!

      Pros

      Seriously none. They once were top notch but then a new administration took over about 4 years ago- terrible change. They literally don't have any credentials anymore.

      Cons

      They work you to death and pay is extremely low. They literally don't know what they're doing when it comes to teaching. Inexperienced and extremely rude.

      Once a great place to work, now a steady decline

      Pros

      The benefits, especially time off, were really good and most people outside of higher leadership positions were and still are great! They both care about their fellow coworkers, the mission, and the students.

      Cons

      After 2 years of fully remote they insisted on returning to the office. It led to an exodus and a lot of unhappy people. The leadership does not believe that people can collaborate or form relationships online. In other words they don't believe in the business model. Pay stagnated bad over the years. Especially if your job wasn't directly related to academia. Leadership felt that because all higher ed was struggling everyone, even IT and finance people, were easily replaceable. Yet critical roles were left unfilled for months and months when people left.

      Pros

      CTO, COO, and other VPs and execs all left in the past 6-8 weeks. As well as smaller departments are being downsized or leaving before they are eliminated

      Cons

      Unstable place to work, people keep leaving and not being filled
