Pros

The University has a very small, community, close-knit feel which is a warm environment to work in. There are lots of opportunities to collaborate across the campus if you are willing to take the initiative and lead the charge. The campus is gorgeous and the students I worked with were very personable.

Cons

Mismanagement of overall school budget had implications for advancement in pay while I worked there from 2016-2018. There was also not a streamlined, University wide process for how someone can advance career-wise in staff roles.

Pros

Really "cut my teeth" here and learned a lot as a young professional in student affairs. Since it's such a small campus community you have the opportunity to wear tons of different hats and learn about many different facets of student affairs and campus culture. Beautiful campus, really enjoyed working with most of my co-workers. Felt supported in my professional development and had opportunities for self-directed growth. A big pro was the opportunity to pursue discounted graduate education as an employee. Had a positive relationship with my manager and most of my colleagues.

Cons

Not great work-life balance, even by student affairs standards. When I left there was lots of cross-departmental "drama" with some departments having long-standing grudges or feuds over petty things. I had a good relationship with my manager but heard nightmarish stories about how poorly some managers and department leaders treated their staff. University leadership mismanaged a series of crises during my time there and both staff and students lost trust in a lot of the administration. It's a top-down institution, so it was very challenging to enact meaningful change from the trenches. Definitely learned a lot, but I was ready to leave after a few years.
