Very poor professional senior management team , way out of their depth. Poor communication with between management and staff, lack of transparency. Not looking after good employees. No real progression prospects. Poor salaries. Chaotic, unorganised, dealing mainly with fires.

Pros

Diverse work environment. Somewhat flexible schedule, with a few fridays off in the summer. Good education benefits, for employees and their families.

Cons

The pay is lower than the market. Tuition and senior leadership pay on the way up. Disappearing benefits. There is a disconnect from the faculty/staff that make the university run.
