Pros

For the most part, students, staff and faculty are very polite. Manhattan is a nice sized college town with a wide variety of services (and they now even have a rudimentary public transportation system!). Overall, upper management is positive and supportive.

Cons

Respect of work/Life balance can vary significantly by department. Some students are completely focused on grades and miss out on the main point of education: learning and developing a strong skill base.

Pros

- fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

Cons

- pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
