Pros

The work environment here is very good, people are very nice. It's free to take one course each semester at BU.

Cons

The biggest issue is financial stability. Some positions depend on research grant, jobs are not stable. Pay is not that great.

Don't bother (at SDM)

Pros

Casual working environment, friendly atmosphere, and honest, hardworking people within the faculty and rank and file. Benefits commensurate with a BU job.

Cons

Since Dr. Frankl's death, there has been a leadership void and an overall culture of ignorance at SDM. Several former employees have been scapegoated or castigated for institutional failures of which they were either unaware or powerless to fix. Poor compensation of junior administration and adjunct faculty.
