Pros

Working with students every day is fantastic and you learn something new from them daily. The campus is absolutely beautiful and the faculty and staff that have been there for decades are very committed to their work.

Cons

However, the work environment for many departments, including mine, was extremely toxic. There were multiple human resource, investigations happening, lawsuits, and retaliatory firing by leadership for those who spoke up. I once sat in the meeting where one of the leaders of our police department called the rest of the mostly minority officers “idiots”. I also had a “leader” sit me down and say that they could help me be “successful” with my career path at the University if I stayed in my job, at the time I was the only person left. They brought in contractors to try and lead the department and they were completely unqualified and had inappropriate connections to previous University employees. It was an absolute mess. My mental health was in shambles by the time I left. I met with HR several times, and expressed my concerns only for them to take a confidential conversation directly to leadership. I will never, ever, recommend this institution for work, School, or otherwise.
