Pros

Good benefits and bureaucratic paperwork not excessive like at some schools. Relatively easy to navigate the campus/administration.

Cons

Students are unprepared for college work and are not respected or challenged by most professors. When a professor does come along that expects them to come to class prepared and write above a 9th grade level, they are shocked to hear that their skills are below average. The department chair of my department cared more about high enrollments and positive evals than about education. She suggested I teach a comic book version of Othello to students rather than the actual play because "they won't be able to understand" the original.

Pros

•Making Connections •Gain experience in public institutions on how things work around here.

Cons

•Management could be so entitled. When I was a staff member, leadership sees you as trash. Leadership could be scary! It’s all about reputation here so be careful and stay on the low. Just do your work and leave.
