      Not a great job market for career women

      Pros

      Even though it is a state university, many outsiders assume it is a private university and in the same tier as Ivy League institutions. Use that reputation as a stepping stone to somewhere else.

      Cons

      Good Old Boy network. A former colleague who had worked in several different U.S. states and Europe said that getting a job on this campus was like "stepping through a time warp into the 1950s." Local job market is oversupplied with workers with multiple degrees, particularly highly educated faculty spouses who are tied here by tenure, and there's always someone with lots of credentials or an inside connection who will accept a lower salary.

      Not Professional

      Pros

      They have a work life program and offer family health insurance coverage. Both of these things are due to the main campus. The Lafayette Campus is very professional.

      Cons

      Senior management does not respect the staff. Some of the AVC level at the Calumet Campus lack the necessary training to hold their jobs and are simply there because they knew someone at some point. After a while, the AVC was able to find a lower level employee to do their job, yet maintain their own status. Yelling, name calling, fist banging and finger pointing are part of the daily routine, sad to say.
