Pros

Great team, beautiful campus, the high caliber students taking part in our programs, amazing facilities, work-life balance (depending on roles), reputation of school within Texas

Cons

Politics (lot of infighting between schools and departments), extremely siloed, Few opportunities for advancement (flat organization), little or no mangement training opportunities, understaffed across departments - run on skeleton crews, pay is significantly lower than other universities (public schools), management inherits people that have stayed on for 20-30 years and have not stayed current on skills/ or refuse to do something that other people in their roles required to do because they have gotten away with not doing it for decades
