Many pros, unfortunate cons

Pros

New leadership is making sound decisions and trying to right the ship. Trying to improve DEI in face of Nassar scandal. Friendly work environment. Many units have good staff culture. Great health and PTO benefits with supportive staff unions.

Cons

Racism and sexism are present in ways you wouldn't expect. Some units shun this mentality while others foster it, including at the leadership level. Salary isn't commensurate with other industry levels.

Pros

Pros? If you are a white man, its a great place to work.

Cons

Women are not valued and are under paid compared to men. EVP’s office is supposed to run the business of the school but are not business professionals but rather former faculty and don’t know how to run the operations. They provide no clear direction for the op units and rely upon a self absorbed senior consultant who can’t see past his own arrogance.
