Pros

None. Nothing good to say.

Cons

Management are heartless and lack any sense of urgency. More than half the department has quit in the last six month and they still don't get it. Any other F&B operation you work, managers will work on the weekends or evenings in F&B to help cover. I have never seen a management staff that is so opposed to working at night or weekends. I don't understand why in a F&B operations that the management thinks its ok to all work Monday-Friday 9 -5. They treat working on the weekends like its a plague.

Pros

Decent benefits, but not really as great as everyone assumes. Some colleagues who really care and do great work. Impressive students.

Cons

Relatively poor pay and pay inequities. Extremely poor fiscal management - that CFO who was fired for outing it was spot on. Senior administrators and faculty are incentivized to spend a lot of money on things that serve few students and hoard resources to make themselves look good for performance reviews and tenure committees, but it means a lot of extra work gets dumped on a growing a number of mid-level administrators and support staff - who now face layoffs or added workloads. It's all strangling the university's ability to serve its students, but I know several faculty members simply don't care about students or teaching.
