Pros
great benefits, opportunities for advancement, faculty and staff in general are great people to work and interact with. Good place to work.
Cons
location, pay is only so so, political, takes forever to get things accomplished because of the many layers and decentralization
Advice to Senior Management
cut out unnecessary levels of management and procedures. There are also a lot of legacy staff and positions around wasting space and resouces. These should be evaluated.
