Pros

I love the people I work with. Everyone is kind and treats you like family. We have started doing fun things, like having more events where we get together. Sometimes online and sometimes in person. My boss is always looking for ways for me to try new things and extend my skills. We are focusing on students more and more and technology sounds like it will be catching up to what we need it to be. I appreciate that my leaders are transparent and I always feel like I know what is going on. Amazing benefits and retirement accounts. People who really care about students and there is a new focus on students taking more classes here.

Cons

I wish we could complete more modernization projects, but we do not have enough technology people, so every project has to be prioritized, and sometimes, it takes years to do new things.
