Pros

Student interactions are positive -- you get to know them much better than in a day school. Teacher autonomy is enormous and collegiality is very good within my department. Benefits are really good.

Cons

Work/life balance is very hard to reach. The culture of the Academy can envelope your life if you are not careful. Singles and people of color have a hard time adjusting to the town. It's nice, but way too small, and it lacks diversity. This isn't the Academy's fault, but it's a con of the job.

Pros

If you're a faculty member, this is the place for you. Benefits were great, but not worth being treated like "less than" if you aren't faculty.

Cons

If you are a staff member, this is not the place for you. The culture seems to prioritize it's wealthier students and more elite faculty members at the cost of the integrity of its own staff members. There is little room for career advancement when the gap between entry level staff and seasoned faculty is made blatantly obvious when they don't even care to look at you when you greet them.
