Pros
Pay and benefits were strong

What a disaster. System president and his inner circle of “yes-men” have managed change horribly. As a result, the Orhanizational culture is toxic.

Baker College has prided itself on maintaining impressive benefits as one of the ways of showing our appreciation and value for our employees. We are glad to hear you found the compensation strong as well.
We regret to find that your time with Baker College concluded with lack of understanding of our leadership and the vision of the institution. A recent nationally rated engagement survey completed by our employees showed their satisfaction and engagement to be above average. While we acknowledge any substantial opportunities for improvement generally our employees also noted their belief that the leadership of the institution has a clear sense of purpose and that the goals and objectives are consistent with the institution's mission and values.
As always, thank you for your feedback.
Flexible work schedule, making it ideal for part-time faculty.
Supportive administration that values faculty input.
Well-structured curriculum and resources provided.

A professional and collaborative atmosphere.
Cons
Limited opportunities for career advancement as an adjunct.
Compensation could be more competitive.
Class availability depends on enrollment, which can fluctuate.
