Pros

Worked there for many years and had thousands of incredible experiences with students from around the world. You can make a big impact on their minds, careers, and lives. Incredible faculty from all walks of life that are fantastic colleagues.

Cons

The administration consistently praises the results of faculty work (students' achievements, growth, opportunities, etc.) while playing down the work and value of the faculty. Contract negotiations are always very adversarial, pay is below standard for comparable colleges, and they keep transitions from part time to full time as low and infrequent as possible.

Pros

-helping students -talking about music

Cons

-forced to train the ai bot that will replace you -despite being the top performer on your team and being reassured repeatedly your job is secure, you will get laid off with no explanation or respect -c suite prefers to keep their 500k+ salaries and 80k+ bonuses even if it means laying off 80+ employees who only make 55k -CEO led first layoffs in berklee's entire history, no transparency with any managers, no discussion or anything -CEO used money "saved" from layoffs to give other employees bonuses and buy unnecessary property
