Pros

Good friends with some faculty, positive student evaluations mostly, pleasant and cooperative most of the time.

Cons

Had one of the most racist, divisive, evil colleagues on the face of the planet, just an awful, miserable person who harassed me constantly, most of the time over nothing or things that were absolutely none of here business, and who abused students by gossiping about them behind their backs or humiliating them in class if they disagreed with her petty politics. Corruption and money mishandled at highest levels of administration. Hazel O'Leary had a terrible temper from all accounts and was verbally abusive of some staff. Terrible maintenance, they hardly ever fixed anything because there's never money to do so. IT equipment used in classrooms is often in disrepair, students steal batteries out of remotes, just endless problems. Money mysteriously disappears from special accounts, meaning that somebody likely embezzles it who shouldn't have access to said accounts.
