Business Outlook

Pros

Collegiality. Working with the students. Lots of opportunity for growth. Support for educators. Training for "best practices". Current technology--or the opportunity to apply for it.

Cons

The pay. Arbitrary pay--not fair salary structure or vetting process. Raises not in line with cost of living or merit. New faculty are paid up to 20% MORE than their bosses--departmental chairs, etc... Senority is not rewarded. Better to leave your position for a year, come back and be rehired at the higher rate. {lol}
