      Research your Director & beware of HR

      Pros

      The students and coworkers

      Cons

      My boss did not show up for work half of the time and we never knew how to reach him. He ran the department into the ground with his reputation. He lies to his employees, avoids solving employee issues, and hasn’t attended a HOWL day/awards night for his students in years. How does he still have a job? Good old boys club politics! His partner works at the school, does an amazing job, and makes a difference. Don’t trust HR with anything confidential either! Before I left (escaped), they broke confidentiality. I have proof. I was never given an exit interview or had an opportunity to voice my concerns. Be warned and be careful!

      Lacking diversity and inclusion

      Pros

      Small town environment with decent sized offices

      Cons

      The diversity and inclusion is extremely lacking. Administration is reactive instead of proactive, and the university often participates in ethically questionable practices in regards to hiring and retention. Many of the coworker relationships are toxic because of the small size of the campus.

      Cons

      Lack of room for true professional development. Lack of true diversity.
