Typical higher education problems and a terrible campus

Pros

The people are good. The professors are highly rated. The view from campus is beautiful. Easily accessible through shuttle and public transportation.

Cons

Very low pay. I took an 18% decrease to get experience and to work in public education. Benefits look ok at first, but they are not very good compared to other institutions in the area. If you live in the city it is easy to get to, but if you commute from any other place it is a nightmare. Like most (if not all) higher ed institutions the upper management are more concerned with getting credit for things than they are for actually improving the student experience. The only reason this place has a good reputation is that the faculty are very good!
