Pros

- Flexible working hours - Friendly work environment

Cons

- Poor student quality - Teaching focused with extremely heavy teaching load - Pressure to achieve research productivity (e.g. publish peer-review papers, submit proposals and earn grants) while the college offers no financial support for research - The cheapest college in NY, NJ and CT. The pay scale is the lowest compared to all universities and colleges in the area. Faculty live on the poverty line and finding a part-time job to survive is a must (unless you're fine living below poverty line)
