Pros

Time off, the faculty and staff who work there.

Cons

This used to be a great place to work until the district merged into one college. They have gotten rid if most lower level positions while at the same time elevating their own salaries. The institution is so top heavy now it’s unreal. The way they are cutting people is just sad. They are cutting people who have worked there for 20+ years who only had a few years left before they could retire. It’s so terrible to watch people being escorted out of the building by armed policemen. They have no heart. They keep saying how they understand how hard it is for those who lost their jobs but they are sitting there with their huge salaries. The provost actually got a huge raise while othe positions were being cut. The faculty are completely up in arms too. Some are being forced to go to multiple campus just to teach their load. Many other employees had to take large pay cuts just to keep a position. They have made everyone reapply for positions and then if you are lucky enough to get one you will most likely be relocated to a campus that is extremely long commute. The sad thing is, there was no need for them to eliminate so many positions because our positions were already budgeted for, as our salaries are paid for through state funding.

Pros

Colleagues, flexible teaching schedule, Students

Cons

I have realized that it is all in who you know, not what you know or what qualifications you have. Communication is terrible. The Dean in the area that I teach is a busy body who will not reply to any email or TEAMS message that you send her. She is always gossiping and clearly is in the position that she is in because of who she knows. Zero support from higher up. Room for promotion is almost impossible. Just because the position is open, they usually have their candidate list already established. Tokenism at the top and they are only there because they say "Yes". A whole facade.

Pros

Free parking; extra service available if you want it. Immediate supervisors do seem to care, even if they are so overworked that they do not have time to address issues.

Cons

Since the consolidation into a centralized Dallas College, administrative functions for basic work procedures have become inefficient and ineffective. Upper administration is inept; lower administration is stretched so thin they cannot be effective.
