Pros

Benefits including generous PTO. Helping students is fulfilling.

Cons

The VPs here are incompetent and would be eaten alive outside of the small town of Fayette. The institution has literally mortgaged its future with a $70+ million loan secured by Fayette campus assets. There have been multiple payment deferrals while interest continues to accrue. Very little financial transparency or any transparency, for that matter. There are serious doubts whether or not the school will continue to exist in the next 3 to 5 years. Large exodus of faculty and staff in recent years, a vicious cycle of no continuity and new staff constantly playing catch up.

Pros

Get paid, Student athletes are grateful to be here, Work life balance is ok

Cons

Abhorrent upper management. Rampant favoritism. Boring small town with nothing to do and no redeeming qualities. Promotions handed out to lazy idiots. Antiquated tech. Internal school portal (myUIU) looks like it's from 1995. Multiple coaches, deans, and directors out in the last few months. Dwindling student population on campus = sad ghost town Social media is a dumpster fire. Uninspiring and unoriginal.
