      Pros

      Excellent benefits; fair pay; some wonderful co-workers; diverse work force; many wonderful experiences working with students.

      Cons

      A huge swath of the college has now taken on a very corporate feel. Corporate hardball is now being played and staff morale is tanking in many departments. True collegiality among multiple levels of the staff is being replaced by fear and cynicism. Such a shame, as all of this was 100% avoidable.

      Pros

      -helping students -talking about music

      Cons

      -forced to train the ai bot that will replace you -despite being the top performer on your team and being reassured repeatedly your job is secure, you will get laid off with no explanation or respect -c suite prefers to keep their 500k+ salaries and 80k+ bonuses even if it means laying off 80+ employees who only make 55k -CEO led first layoffs in berklee's entire history, no transparency with any managers, no discussion or anything -CEO used money "saved" from layoffs to give other employees bonuses and buy unnecessary property
