Pros

Pleasant, if snowy, college town.

Cons

Extremely cutthroat political atmosphere, easily the worst I've ever seen. If you don't have tenure, the union is lazy and toothless, completely vowed by the university President, a complete tyrant who will side against faculty.

Bright students and beautiful campus

Cons

Incompetent and nasty colleagues; dysfunctional and toxic environment; unethical and discriminatory employment practices; lack of genuine commitment to diversity; nepotistic; a bizarre culture which rewards inept staff members who are unionized and connected academics and administrators
