Pros

RWU is managed by self-serving bureaucrats. This may sound like sour grapes, but it isn't. Senior staff are white, rich men who are completely disconnected from the challenges and problems on the ground staff and faculty face every day. I can think of only one pro to write about this employer: that in spite of moribund and toxic senior management, middle management and faculty somehow manage to keep the place going.

Cons

No opportunity for middle managers, faculty, students, alumni or parents to have a real voice in addressing the genuine problems this institution faces. Decisions are made behind closed doors by the men who are responsible for managing the institution. These decisions, over and over again, do not reflect the very real problems staff and faculty face every day. Doubtful the institution can prevail if this kind of senior management continues.

Writing Tutor

Pros

The director of the tutoring department is really wonderful and makes you feel appreciated. Tutoring itself is a very rewarding job.

Cons

Sometimes coworkers do not pick up the slack. For example, if a student walks into the writing center, the tutor at the front of the room often ends up tutoring them rather than students from the back offering to help.
