Administration leaves a lot to be desired, especially former president..new president seems better but brings his political bent

Pros

Get to work with lots of very good people. Job is satisfying at times. Good job for someone that likes to work with college students.

Cons

A lot of talk about work/life balance, but the demands on your time do not allow for it. When you live at work, it can be hard to balance.

Pros

Satisfying and rewarding working with current students and alumni of this university.

Cons

Being in middle management is a nightmare of office politics. Safer to be in one of the 5 unions at this university. Saw many (good) people get fired, escorted out with no notice, and generally treated badly. The perils of working in an "at will" state perhaps, but definitely a peril of working at RWU! :(
