Pros

Flexibility, vacation and sick days/leave. Working with motivated, creative students in a beautiful setting, autonomy.

Cons

No transparency re salary levels, no parity re salaries, poor communication between departments, no raises year after year, escalating health insurance costs, dysfunctional and top-heavy (and overpaid) senior administration. No accountability for poor performers or rewards for high performers.

Pros

(I didn't work there in 2021- that's was just as early as it let me go?) I felt good about the work and what we were promoting. Never felt I had to be pushy, and I never felt pressured to bring a bunch of false leads in. Admissions is tireless WORK. But for one fall, my supervisor let me sublet an apartment in Brooklyn, and that made life easier, as NYC was my territory!

Cons

Not many! I met some of the favorite friends and coworkers of my life there.
