excellent benefits including TIAA-CREF and tuition remission for employee; opportunities for advancement; commitment to students; support diversity and the local community

It is an institution -- so there are politics and challenges to getting things done that need to happen.

Pros

Benefits are very good, especially the free tuition benefit for dependents. Tuition remission for staff is also good, but difficult to find the time to take courses. Highest level leadership is visionary. Engagement with the community is important though challenging.

Cons

Typical political infighting can be challenging as in any academic environment. There are oppoortunities for collaborations across college boundaries that go unused.

If you are looking to pay for your kids college in few years, SU might be the route to go in terms of employers.

Cons

Have to pay for parking, lacking interdepartmental communication at times, lots of nepotism, salaries are very low, it's cold here!!!!
