Pros

I work for the Worldwide campus (headquarters is not far from the residential campus there) but live elsewhere. Actually, I have moved twice since being hired with the only difference being the state taxes deductions. My department is quite friendly even with the distance between us all. At least once a year we gather in person and have a lot of (tame) fun together. Students are about the same as the community colleges I've worked at before. I teach almost exclusively in general education; no background in aviation or aerospace. I learn a lot about both of those fields from my students so I'm never bored with the content of just a few courses taught repetitively.

Cons

Nine week terms (residential campuses have traditional semesters) make it difficult to help the struggling students. Time zone variety is challenging for one-on-one meetings as well. Teaching virtually is very different than in-person (and different from emergency virtual, as in 2020). It has both rewards and challenges.

Pros

~ my job moves with my spouse's ~ two classes at a time, four times an academic year (10-month contract) ~ in-person college/dept meetings at graduation ceremonies twice a year ~ strong funding for research and conference travel ~ private university

Cons

~ full-time faculty handle a lot of admin and support of a LOT of adjuncts ~ limited opportunity for leadership opportunities ~ current board of directors leans right, increasingly so
