Pros

Good people and a mostly caring community. Flexible with accommodating special needs. Faculty are well connected to give students recommendations after graduation.

Cons

Disorganized and slow administration. Departments vary in quality. Health benefits are marginal. To give an example, the university's dental plan was accepted by only four providers in the city (population 225K). Of these, only two were accepting new patients. Of those two, a quick Google search revealed that one had pending felony charges for assaulting a former employee. That leaves only one dentist to choose from. His office was run entirely by assistants and I never even met him.

Pros

State institution, great benefits, great environment

Cons

I used to have so much respect for Texas Tech, however, with this administration of President Bailey, there has been a shift in change management. Campus-wide, 20-somthings are being hired into critical roles that are high level and carry much areas of responsibilities. They are replacing employees who have a vast amount of experience and replacing them with a younger age group with little or no experience. Therefore, I suppose if you are in your 20s and with little experience, go ahead and apply for a vice president position, you are sure to get it!
