Pros

Extremely bold president who is charismatic and inspiring leading a storied college - now nascent university - to new frontiers. Very much a force of nature. Everyone there is dedicated to the mission and work incredibly hard. Worked with some wonderful, intelligent colleagues. Depending on if you fit the culture and management style, there is potential for rapid career growth.

Cons

Nearly always felt we were building the train tracks while the train was actively baring down on us. Direction could change on a whim, and often, leading to real ambiguity as to your role over time. Micromanagement at nearly all levels, especially from management to upper management. Definitely a move fast and break things atmosphere, but be careful because breaking things includes you. Upper management very focused on their own careers to a detriment and often burn through subordinates. High turnover across position levels. Unsure if president is a part of this culture, or if those in the leadership inner circle are just such good sycophants that he is kept unaware at the ground level. I want to believe the latter. Needless to say, as president, he bears responsibility for the perpetuation of this culture.

Pros

Stable/predictable. Upon completing onboarding managing caseload is straightforward with a simple cadance to work.

Cons

Performance gets additional work with no compensation, metrics only used to penalize not reward. Management style is poor and seems to exist solely to isolate workers into very tiny pools of interactions. No meaningful feedback loop, with vital information getting outright ignored for long periods until it balloons into larger problems. While individuals can be exceptional the structure prevents meaningful communication between departments. Decisions will go live with no communication and expectations that others clean up messes from changes no one knew was coming. With the students being the ones to suffer the worst consequences.
