Pros

They offer excellent salaries, and great benefits. for full-time employees. Job security is good, owing to the unions. Work-life balance is taken very seriously, even compared to other academic institutions.

Cons

The administration is completely dysfunctional at basically all levels. Extraordinary amounts of time, energy and money are wasted due to poor planning (or no planning), and failure to follow through on initiatives. Critical decisions are routinely made at high-levels with little or no input from the employees that are affected, causing extreme stress and massive amounts of wasted effort doing fix-up/catch-up jobs that could easily have been avoided with better planning and implementation.

Wonderful faculty. Beautiful campus. Variety of classroom sizes.

Far distance between classrooms. Campus buses not reliable. Will not give full-time status to lecturers who work over 40 hours per week. No benefits.
