Great people marred by institutional toxicity

Pros

You'll work with some thoughtful, warm, and bright colleagues who bring enthusiasm and fresh thinking to their roles. Paid time off is also quite decent, and work quiets down in summertime when students are out.

Cons

Inequitable pay, as the University operates on a "burn and churn" system with entry and even mid level staff positions (i.e. pay them low wages so that they'll quickly move on after they've taken advantage of their tuition remission and gotten advanced degrees). Little to no support or feedback from HR and leadership on a variety of personnel, finance, and other issues. Toxicity within the University born from leadership that is not in touch with the needs and desires of students, faculty and staff. Very little opportunity for professional growth.
