Pros

There were pockets of good in this organization, but management never recognized or rewarded them. Most of the students were great, as were most of the Visiting Scholars, older Faculty & Staff.

Cons

Upper management was full of uber narcissists who never gave credit or praise, constantly pressured you for free O/T, and expected you to be perpetually on-call. Employees are routinely degraded and treated as second-class citizens and whipping boys. Getting screamed at was a weekly function for my job, and was the norm for everyone, except their favorite few. Unless you're one of their favorites, you will have a hard time working there.

Bureaucracy causes all of the turnover. Project Managers are thrown under the bus every time leadership gets involved.
