Pros

Clean, nice offices. Not bad pay, but lowest in higher ed.

Cons

Management is awful. President walks around to check on staff every day, yet cant remember anyone's name after 8 years of working there. Management is paid well, because lower level staff is not. Students are treated like gold, employees are not valued. College is a "right to try" college....which means any idiot can attend and that is pretty much what they are. Most drop out after one quarter, because they shouldnt even be in college. The level of intelligence is laughable within the student body. This makes doing your job difficult, because Baker will do "whatever it takes" to keep students. If the office is closed and they are pounding at the door, because they cant tell time, Baker will always let them in and disregard an employees schedule. The new cao is ice cold and cares about advancement, but not her staff. Hours are brutal and there are mandatory work weeks/days we must work, which leaves little time to take the pto they offer. Management doesnt listen to ideas on how to make the office flow smoothly, they just care about the numbers and the $. Many employees leave, high turnover rate.
