Beware of the "Bubble" Mindset

Pros

Free promo gifts. Decent holiday bonuses.

Cons

Very often staff is encouraged to fall into the collective mindset of higher-ups, blocking out any suggestions for change or improvement as it pertains to involvement with the community. University doesn't seem to care about the city around it. When they do get involved, they're really only seeking the positive publicity rather than actually caring about they are assisting.
