Pros

Many students are amazing. Human Resources is trying. Leadership is undermining. JEDI is trying. Undermined. Faculty are ALWAYS trying. Look: the bottom line is that the workspace is demoralizing. Toxic people get promoted. People who have lost their voice keep their job. If these are the pros.... so be it. The final pro: people who want to complete their degree are able to do so and some amazing faculty are responsible for that.

Cons

There are not many great things to share lately. Job postings shared nationally that have already been filled with "former colleagues". Total confusion about.... many things related to academia and students. Thank GOD the faculty are still doing their jobs, because they have no idea what's going on due to ZERO communication. It's fine, though. It's all great and there are "so many opportunities". Show me.

Pros

There is a good work / life balance. Did not feel overly stressed and micromanaged because of my colleagues.

Cons

Where to start. From the moment of getting hired, it was very obvious to me this was a corporation pretending to be a caring higher ed university. Every decision they made is entirely for profit and to cut as many corners as possible. HR was fully onboard with allowing a toxic work environment to continue all because everyone at this company is a yes man going all the way up to the top, They are totally willing to sacrifice student learning and experience all for the next dollar. Genuinely one of the most poorly run companies I have ever seen full of toxicity from the ground up. Do not fall for it - this "university" does not care about you in the slightest!!
