Pros

The benefits they offer are great. The atmosphere of working on a college campus is always pretty special. As a state employee you get access to lots of great discounts.

Cons

The university runs on a "this is how we've always done it" mantra at every level. There is a complete lack of vision, and new thoughts and ideas seem to be avoided like the plague. This leads to there seeming to be rampant disfunction at the top levels. Also be ready to navigate a political minefield.

Pros

Currently, there are no pros to working at Tech.

Cons

All of our course content must be approved by the new chancellor and the board of regents, who have admitted to using AI to review the titles of readings related to sex, gender, sexuality, and race. Professors across the university are impacted negatively. If you are a science instructor, particularly in biological sciences, you cannot teach scientific facts. Moving forward, graduate students will no longer be able to research topics covering sex, gender, and sexuality.
