Pros

The people are generally friendly and the setting is good for raising a young family.

Cons

An extreme lack of professionalism. Central administration refuses to keep up on major problems in departments, citing "decentralized" government. Many dysfunctional departments. Upper administration only interested in financial gain, with little interest in the actual education occurring. Kansas is an incredibly backward state to work in.

Pros

- fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

Cons

- pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
