Pluspunten

It's in a large town for Kansas, and if you can get into the local church and school community, it can be a nice place to raise kids.

Minpunten

All decisions and budget are controlled at the department level, meaning there are rich and poor departments across campus. Some classrooms have every electronic convenience, while others have chalkboards and a projector on a cart shared between all professors. The city is lacking in diversity, and not always welcoming to members of any minority - including working mothers and single women not wanting to settle down to a family. There is a portion of the student body which does not have to meet any admission standards beyond the high school diploma. That leads to a lot of remedial courses and uneven student performance.

Pluspunten

- 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

Minpunten

- 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
