Pros

-Students are friendly, approachable, and create a sense of community. -Great coworkers and colleagues willing to support each other. -Manageable workload. -Collaborative opportunities with staff and faculty pending the department.

Cons

-Leadership was questionable and at times unorganized. -Leadership was often invisible and took a "hands off approach" when it came time to being visible and present in the community. -Often critiqued more than provided helpful feedback and guidance. -Experienced microaggressions here-cultural competency is needed as some individuals seemed to have trouble working with people who look, learn, and were outside of the status quo -Department was cliquey and showed favoritism to individuals they supervised.

Business Outlook

Pros

Generous vacation time and sick time Pretty campus Other benefits like tuition reimbursement

Cons

Low pay. Your job and comfort level totally depends on the chair of your department. The people who work in the administrative clerical positions are thanked for their work and are told they are so important to the school functioning, but we are not called on for any of our views or feedback. We have noticed tht you have to be a director or assistant director or higher up for this to happen. This matters to some and then for some it doesn't matter!
