      Pros

      I thought it was a prestigious university, with good diverse students and great culture. Location was close to my home

      Cons

      They were beyond cheap. I was a master teacher since 1995, with 25 years of real live stage dancing experience( company work and film& TV ) and 13 years of teaching in professional performing arts schools and universities, but nevertheless paid the same as students who had just gotten some minor certification and barely had any experience teaching and just taught part-times to make money. I had been a teacher full-time for a decade all over the globe. My classes were well received I averaged 25-45 students and got no added fee for that huge amounts in class.

      Pros

      Decent benefits, but not really as great as everyone assumes. Some colleagues who really care and do great work. Impressive students.

      Cons

      Relatively poor pay and pay inequities. Extremely poor fiscal management - that CFO who was fired for outing it was spot on. Senior administrators and faculty are incentivized to spend a lot of money on things that serve few students and hoard resources to make themselves look good for performance reviews and tenure committees, but it means a lot of extra work gets dumped on a growing a number of mid-level administrators and support staff - who now face layoffs or added workloads. It's all strangling the university's ability to serve its students, but I know several faculty members simply don't care about students or teaching.
