Pros

Health benefits are the best you're going to find in Lynchburg

Cons

LU has gone from "Training Champions for Christ" to peddling the gospel for money. The $bottom line$ is all that matters to Liberty University. Current employees are fleeing under new management. Liberty's reputation has been ruined, not only from political endorsements from senior management, but because their employees are extremely unhappy (disrespected, underpaid, and treated as infants). LU is too arrogant to realize that if you treated your employees better, the quality of customer service will increase and so will student retention. I have been told by my direct manager that LU chooses to let good, hard-working employees (with years of experience) leave because they have a "revolving door or fresh college graduates" who continually fill all open spots. We used to have a saying, "If it's Christian, it should be better." Yet, it I have come from secular companies who have treated their employees far better than LU. It's so bad that it took Democratic (questionably Muslim) President Barack Obama to sign an executive order that forced Liberty to pay their employees better, and they STILL didn't give people what they were worth, but instead raised certain higher level people's salaries to meet the bare minimum of $47K/year. I know people with PHDs, who work 50-60+ hours/week and only make $47K/year. Do not think for a second that you will EVER make more than $40K/year at LU (and that's if you stick around long enough and kiss enough butts to happen to land a middle management position... and then once their enrollment numbers start falling again they'll just fire you.
