Pros

Some of the best colleagues I've ever worked with, and the students are incredible. A great mix of people. A good mission. An excellent idea in theory.

Cons

An administration made up of people who have never run a college. A budget crisis for years now, and no planning ahead to be prepared. Laid off 50%+ of the entire staff. Got $50M+ promised from the state (good sign!), based on the current cost to run the school (most of that cost is the staffing, so based on the current staffing) No public conversations about which roles will actually be brought back and when. Is the school planning a reorgnization? Are they *actually* planning to bring back most/all employees (as the president, Ajita Menon, has said)?? No clue. No transparency. No collaboration or honesty. Nothing. If you're looking at jobs here, in the future when they advertise any, really consider what you want from your leadership. If it's communication and consideration, run.

Pros

Strong mission driven leadership team that tackles all the toughest external threats.

Cons

We end up paying in ad spend because we don't spend enough in prod.

Pros

None worth mentioning if you're a frontline or classified employee. Maybe the mission, on paper.

Cons

If you're lucky enough to be hired, there's a good-to-fair chance you'll be hired simply to check off a box for legislators, accreditors, or anyone else who needs convincing — not to actually do any meaningful work. As a result, you'll be relegated to menial, administrative tasks and disposed of as soon as your position stops being convenient to the college. This is an institution that clearly learned nothing from the 2019-2021 years, when the college was on the brink of being shut down due to mismanagement. "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
