Pros

pay is nice, they never seem to fire people, easy to get tenure compared to other universities, students are very active in out-of-class activities and clubs

Cons

They never seem to fire people, meaning incompetent people fill many positions (the Peter Principle) - people who would never get hired to a comparable position at another university. People are overseeing services when they have no business or qualifications for doing so. They seem to always look inward, never outward or at competing institions, meaning they are still doing things the way other universities were doing them 10-20 years ago. Services are woefully inadequate and out-dated and inefficient compared to other universities. This also ends up bloating administration and tuition - they lead the nation in student debt. The relationship between the Daytona Beach, Prescott, and Worldwide campuses is dysfunctional and strained.

Pros

Most staff are great people. Working with the students is a real bonus, great energy.

Cons

Senior leadership are snakes. If you look up toxic work environment, they click off almost every box. It's sad really because there are so many great reasons to work there.
