Pros

Excellent work culture, I feel like an integral part of our team.

Cons

For the long hours, and going the "extra mile" in my position, I am not compensated well enough for the job that I do. If I were not an alumnus with a vested interest in the university, I would have quit a long time ago. Its sad that I could leave here and make $10,000 more instantly doing the same job at another university. No telework options available.

Pros

I needed a job. I was looking forward to being part of educating the future but I was sadly enlightened that the mission is money for those at the top.

Cons

Race biting and unprofessional Admin Office. Old buildings, communication is talk-the-talk but doesn't do the walk. Bibles open on desks everywhere (literally) but the page number doesn't change...Cannot take a long weekend over a holiday unless you submit a letter with why you want the time off, then you are denied. Cook the books is evident. Money is paid where it is not earned then filtered back in through a company donation for tax write-off. I could go on and on....
