Slow to change, but changing

Pros

Area community college district with vast industry and local partnerships, in addition to strong tax base, high enrollment and student success rates. As a part-time student employee, you're getting work that helps pay the bills - nothing more.

Cons

Hourly pay should be more.

Pros

1. The people you'll work alongside. They are passionate about their work, talented, and dedicated to the overall mission. This warm, friendly culture is why many stay for life. The culture applies at districtwide for the most part. 2. Work-life balance. If you are staff, you can count on regular hours. No staying late. As for faculty and admins, it depends on the department and college location. 3. The benefits, including vacation time during the holidays and spring break off. Also good healthcare! And they are always trying to keep improving the benefits, probably to distract people from con #3.

Cons

1. No pathways for career advancement. Most supervisor(s) will not create a firm plan for you to grow your skills and move up in the organization. That is up to you to figure out (good luck). Which is frustrating with constant talk of helping students advance their careers, but never our employees. 2. Working on a task? Things will progress slowly due to lack of consistency across the colleges. The left hand rarely knows what the right is doing. You'll find multiple committees working on the same goal. 3. The salaries. Most are not market rate. The jobs that pay decently will be in the admin area, so plan to move into management if you want to make decent money. Most will ask for a masters or higher. So take that little money you make and go spend it for hopes at moving up. no guarantees or firm plans though. See con #1.
