Pros

Beautiful place to work at. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Declining work culture. Executive leadership lacks ability to maintain a culture of integrity and trust or the ability to model its stated values. Their values are words on a website, not in practice. President and Provost have no backbone and allow faculty throw tantrums to get their way.
