Pros

Benefits, students, schedule, union, events and speakers

Cons

Post high level experience positions at salary grade levels below what the position should be classified - duties are for a higher salary grade. Beginning salaries are below average, with only a 1 to 2 percent raise each year. Bonuses are discretionary and are not based on performance. High turnover across several departments where leadership has created a toxic work environment by playing favorites, withholding information, losing staff trust, not supporting department staff to upper leadership, and taking credit for their staff's efforts.
