Always missing the mark!

Pros

Great non administrative people to work with. Great personalities, hard working people. Care about the job they are doing

Cons

Administration always missing the mark. Out of touch with what is going on in the actual college and university world. Business practices that are behind the times by at least 2 decades. Always trying to hide the colleges lackluster academics with pretty buildings and offices.

Pros

Work with students to help them become employable when they have few if any other options.

Cons

A disproportionate number of students should not be in college wasting taxpayer dollars. Many of the students were raised in "less than optimal" home situations and it shows in their lack of respect toward instructors and wanting something for nothing. Management has absolutely no concern for their employees well being. There are unrealistic demands placed on their employees and no compliments for a job well done, probably due to the fact that they might have to give you a raise if they state that you did anything well. Most of the higher level administrators have impressive titles but don't have substantial academic credentials from reputable institutions. Most of them either don't have the same credentials that their peers "in title" at other institutions have. A disturbing proportion of them have on-line degrees from the bottom of the rung institutions. If you are a professional with decent education and experience, don't waste your time working for this institution.
