Pros

None whatsoever. Nothing. Nada. Zero.

Cons

* They require you to stay on campus 8-5 M-F like we working in a company not in a college * No prospect of promotion, most of people working there are assistant professor * No tenure system * Unmotivated students * Incompetent administrator * A broken system, they are not even able to manage delivering mails to faculty. A lot of mails get lost or never reached intended faculty * It is ok for students not attending class, but still manage to pass the class just by taking one exam at the end. If faculty won't allow this, the VP for Academic Affairs will press him/her to do it. * A lot of bullshits, a VP for Academic Affairs talked a lot of BS, even saying he will hold this college against any university in the US, even Standford or Harvard :D * Poor technology support. Example: computer labs were equipped with 5-year-old or older computers. Some are not even working while the others take forever to boot up. * They called the College President the CEO :D * They were in financial trouble, so that they asked faculty for mandatory donation * To many prayers, each time we have any kind of meeting. But probably nobody prays to make this college a better place :D * They come up with a BS idea "Communicating through Debate" :D * The salary is very low, a lot of faculty gets $30,000's or lower $40,000's. Rarely anyone gets above $50,000. * Too many people in the cabinet of the president. It seems they use cabinet positions as way to employ some of their unemployed friends (wasting a lot of money) * No quality control. Faculty can teach any material or not teaching at all * Academic departments do not have any control over online courses, since those courses are managed by a person (with hot connection to one member of the cabinet) outside the department. And since teaching those online courses will bring extra income to someone, this person just assign the teaching to herself or her friends, regardless whether they are competent in those fields. * Too many turn-over. Once you experience the culture of administrator and students there, you really want to get out immediately. * A lot of students do not fit for college (behavior and / or skills, e.g., reading skills, math skills etc.)
