Not really that good.

Pros

Probably a good place to start your career in the higher education business. You'll teach a couple of classes, then move on.

Cons

Students are not very motivated. As an "open-admissions" school, you tend to get folks who are just filing space in their classrooms. The same could be said online as well. Pay is among the lowest I've seen for faculty. The administration tends to treat students as customers. Not sure where they get their high job placement rates.

Poor campus leadership

Anonymous employee

Pros

There are some amazing, talented people that work for this organization. I have meet some great people working for this organization. The company provides 10% contribution to 401K and full-benefits for full-time employees.

Cons

The leadership at system and at the campus level are making poor decisions that are negatively affecting the image and future of Baker College. Being a full-time salary employee you will be required to work well over 40 hours a week some weeks with no flex time. The work schedule is variable and you will be required to work multiple shifts. There is a high staff turnover as employees are getting burnt out quickly. The campus president at the Allen Park campus is not willing to think outside of the box and will not even consider ideas that are not his own. Many new ideas and concepts have been presented with no further development.
