Pros
There are some really nice faculty, staff, and students. The parts of campus that are well tended to are quite pretty. The school has a cool history. The new president appears to want to move things in the right direction.
Cons
Pay is low, very low. The cost of benefits is not acceptable. If you cover your partner, look to spend over $800/month. This is not workable for most families. Every office is over worked, under staffed, and under paid. There is a significantly large group of well entrenched upper level people that have a stranglehold on the school and are impeding it from improving. The faculty have far too much power and influence on campus. The school pays lip service to diversity, but all you have to do is see who are actually in the key roles on campus to know the reality of what you are walking into. The approach to managing the students has almost a preschool feel to it. The bandaid approach to addressing issues on campus and with the campus infrastructure is catching up with the school fast. Get a handle on your fraternity system and turn it around or shut it down...do you even read YikYak? You have a serious problem on the campus and you are not addressing it.
