Pros

Campus is growing and buildings are being renovated. Everyone in my department was very nice, and was obviously sorry they couldn't pay more or offer more job security.

Cons

Typical exploitation of adjunct lecturers, making $2500 per class, while the basketball coach rakes in millions a year.
