Pros

I have worked at one of Dallas Colleges' campuses for years and loved every minute of it. However, recent changes made by the Board are not serving faculty or students.

Cons

Dallas College is going through a painful restructuring. Their process is very authoritarian and does not value the legacy of their employees. For example, staff members who have worked there 10 years are dismissed and given 20 minutes to clear their office.

Pros

Very family oriented. Two weeks paid vacation, two weeks employee and dependent sick leave, 15 hours of extenuating circumstance leave, bereavement leave. All the major holidays off: MKL, Good Friday, Spring Break day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving and the Friday after. The week off between Christmas and New Years. 1.5 hours of wellness program weekly. One hour lunch time + two 15 min. breaks daily. 37.5 hour work week. Dependents attend any of the colleges in the district, tuition waived. Extra service contracts are possible - with supervisor approval. Extra service contracts pay beyond the regular salary. Job security, low turnover rate. Long professional relationships, ability to move to other locations within the district and not lose benefits or retirement options.

Cons

Stifled creativity, the old way of doing things too slow to respond to the ever-changing field of educational technologies. Too many battles trying to get innovation off the ground, that energy could be better utilized on the development of said innovation. Micromanagement by antiquated ideas, limited thinking and limited vision supervisors. Underfunded development budgets. Inflexible pay grade structure for those individuals that have an above-and-beyond work ethic. Bureaucratic red tape procedures for everything. Academic credentials valued over, on-the-job skill sets. A Ph.D. doesn't necessarily equate to the best qualification for creative, innovative, meaningful leadership. The faculty have too much say over other departments, too many entitlement attitudes.
