Pros

Umm. Well, some of the architecture is nice

Cons

Where to begin: top- down corporate management, hostility toward people of color, administrative dysfunction, lack of funds for research, horrible location, and your colleagues are like the characters in Mean Girls

Pros

Unlimited sick days-- insurance OK Salary good for cost of living if you are single or don't have people to take care of. Could leave work at 5pm

Cons

TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT. Confidentiality impossible. No accountability whatsoever. No communication about logic of process until it's too late. Complete lack of transparency from management and administration. Bullying and silencing. Lack of regard for any sort of diversity and inclusion (look up the statistics). No room to challenge/contribute; all ideas shut down. No intention to retain employees. Limited potential for mobility. Chancellor only focused on $$$. HR runaround with literally everything. Interview process for FT position was unwelcoming and abrupt. Advisors don't know what's going on because leadership doesn't know what's going on. Just don't work here unless you really need a job.
