Pros

Certain departments have very positive leadership, many coworkers are friendly and helpful.

Cons

Physical space is always an issue, most staff are shoved in corners of barely maintained buildings (the Sears building at River ridge, the second floor of the old factory now known as Green, the possibility of the Fort Hill building, etc) often with very limited space and no natural light. Upper administration is a web of family members, close friends of the Falwell's, and what appears from closer inspection to be a sort of popularity-based pecking order that changes quickly. Every few months either a major player is quietly fired and replaced or 'moved' with very little fanfare (most recently the CIO, but before that the director of Student Accounts, which has now rolled under Financial Aid). There are also a fair amount of conflicts of interest with upper leadership owning companies that Liberty subcontracts to. There is a culture of 'conform or go nowhere' that means that people are afraid to speak their mind. However good some of the lower and middle management are, there are certain things they can't fix.

Pros

Christ centered mission, helping students, most people genuinely care about the students

Cons

Pay, workload, more about profit than Christian principles, run like a secular business, says they care about employees but overwork everyone
