Pros

Good retirement plan, Interaction with students is highly rewarding. Flexible schedule. Opportunity to get a education.

Cons

Management is only interested in protecting their positions. Decisions are based on politics, not facts or common sense. HR is used as muscle to force those who question management out. Marketing department basically runs the campus. Talents of good people routinely wasted buy incompetent managers.

Pros

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Cons

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
