      Pros

      If you manage to hang around long enough the pay is good. Many of the faculty and staff (who actually interact with students) are great.

      Cons

      The direction of the college, and the culture have changed only for the negative. The college has put such an overwhelming focus on hiring VPs and AVPs etc that the student experience has suffered. Your experience is entirely linked to the management you work under. Stay away from the area somehow titled Student Affairs. Toxic environment.

      Pros

      Amazing work culture, understanding managers, and supportive colleagues. I feel truly valued and I can breathe even during peak times.

      Cons

      So far no cons at all. Everything is wonderful!

      Pros

      -helping students -talking about music

      Cons

      -forced to train the ai bot that will replace you -despite being the top performer on your team and being reassured repeatedly your job is secure, you will get laid off with no explanation or respect -c suite prefers to keep their 500k+ salaries and 80k+ bonuses even if it means laying off 80+ employees who only make 55k -CEO led first layoffs in berklee's entire history, no transparency with any managers, no discussion or anything -CEO used money "saved" from layoffs to give other employees bonuses and buy unnecessary property
