Gone downhill--runs like a for-profit

Pros

Nice campus near mall. Good sized university. Hard working students.

Cons

No security. Big wave of layoffs and freezes. Many good people driven out. Some for profit contractors used. Tuition is NOT cheap! Exec and program admin are oblivious. Waste time promoting services they can't deliver on. Money grab for online and international students but not ready for them. You can fail upward if lucky or in an admin clique. No real advancement. Middle managers are lifers. More concerned with keeping their jobs than making things better. Haven't been able to recruit or retain good people. Salaries too low and admin too disorganized. Not worth it.

Pros

Some of the students are very friendly and fun to interact with. Half of the people you work with are very friendly and personable, and will be fun to work with.

Cons

The university has lost its way and won't be finding it any time soon. There has been a lot of set backs in the last 10 years and they haven't figured out how to bounce back from them. So that means low chance for raises, minimal raises if you get one, no room for advancement, random layoffs, random "restructuring" (which is code for positions are eliminated and everyone's work load goes up), no guidance from management, and no accountability.
