Pros

Management was incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and supportive. This is definitely a people-oriented place to work. They care about you and your family and will do everything in their power to make your job a place you want to come to every day.

Cons

Low pay for the career field/skills. This is not true across the entire university, but despite the position being entry level, the pay was still not comparable to other entry level positions in the area.

Pros

The faculty are helpful, the department heads pretty much give you the space you need to run your classroom your way. Training is available if you'd like to take advantage. It's a good environment with a strong student body.

Cons

Parking, I guess. Not really much to complain about here. I guess if you need hand-holding, it's not the place for you.
