Pros
I love the people I work with. Everyone is kind and treats you like family. We have started doing fun things, like having more events where we get together. Sometimes online and sometimes in person. My boss is always looking for ways for me to try new things and extend my skills. We are focusing on students more and more and technology sounds like it will be catching up to what we need it to be. I appreciate that my leaders are transparent and I always feel like I know what is going on.
Amazing benefits and retirement accounts.
People who really care about students and there is a new focus on students taking more classes here.
Cons
I wish we could complete more modernization projects, but we do not have enough technology people, so every project has to be prioritized, and sometimes, it takes years to do new things.

Pros
There is a good work / life balance. Did not feel overly stressed and micromanaged because of my colleagues.
Cons
Where to start. From the moment of getting hired, it was very obvious to me this was a corporation pretending to be a caring higher ed university. Every decision they made is entirely for profit and to cut as many corners as possible. HR was fully onboard with allowing a toxic work environment to continue all because everyone at this company is a yes man going all the way up to the top, They are totally willing to sacrifice student learning and experience all for the next dollar. Genuinely one of the most poorly run companies I have ever seen full of toxicity from the ground up. Do not fall for it - this "university" does not care about you in the slightest!!
