Pros

Providing support and accommodations to students with disabilities is the main value of working within this department. Amongst colleagues there is a lot of support.

Cons

The main issue is within management. Management does not support professional growth, new ideas, and is hardly around. The working environment is sometimes very unprofessional towards students and other colleagues. Also, it is very difficult to get a pay raise, therefore the pay is horrible and insulting.

Pros

The campus is beautiful. Students and faculty have free access to LBTransit buses. I highly recommended using public transportation because parking on campus is nearly impossible unless you come when it's dark in the morning and leave when it's dark at night. Take advantage of the plays and performances offered at the Carpenter Center and other theaters on campus. Visit the Japanese garden on campus. Walk the entire campus, not just the corner of the campus where your department is located.

Cons

There is a great amount of turnover of faculty. The Retention, Tenure and Promotion process is a huge bureaucratic waste of time. Even if you achieve all the requirements for tenure and several enhancing criteria, your tenure depends on the composition of the committee making the decision, whether they like you or not, whether they are jealous of you or not, whether they are honest or not. Unfortunately, many tenured faculty who remain are mediocre at best.
