Pros
It's not all bad. If you're firm, willing to take on additional responsibility, and know your value (and have the right Campus President), you can earn a reasonable salary . Some of the students are really great people. I was particularly fond of the working adults who came back to school to pick up a tech skill set and knew EXACTLY what they wanted to do. For those students, the degree was arguably worth the cost of tuition. Some of the faculty and staff members are lovely people who put students first and believe in what they do. Perks vary across campuses. In some locations, vacation time is flexible, as are schedules generally. In others, seemingly arbitrary rules dictate everything from "timeclocks" and lunch breaks to vacation schedules. If you keep your students happy, you can mostly fly under the radar. That's not to say you can or should get away with slacking, just that the primary administrative concern is pass rate/ student body totals. Keep students in seats and you'll stay out of trouble. I guess that's a pro.
Cons
There is no policy on salary increases and a wide range of salaries, even within similar positions on the same campus, creating quite a bit of frustration. This is not a school that puts students first, nor is any For-Profit institution. (Having said that, please see the "pros" I've shared, as there are some real benefits for certain students who attend this school.) Campus Presidents make local policy and are wholly responsible for HR, academic, and administrative decisions, so some campuses enjoy a general sense of community and are relatively happy places, and some are miserable hellholes. There is NO opportunity for advancement beyond Department Chair (called "Program Director" for some reason), no tenure, and absolutely no job security. Teach at ECPI to learn how to really do it from the trenches: you haven't taught a college course until you've taught one for 5 hours with very little supplemental material and students who have been conned into attending by a dishonest and unethical team of "Admissions" staff. Which brings me to the school's penultimate problem: admissions. The bar for admission to ECPI is so low that the school regularly admits non-english speakers, students with severely disruptive behavioral problems, and optimistic illiterates. Does everyone deserve a chance at higher education? Perhaps. But rest assured that these students aren't admitted on the basis of such lofty ideals. They're admitted because the school's compressed schedule (0 to Bachelors in 2.5, right?) allows students to BORROW INSANE AMOUNTS OF MONEY BEFORE INEVITABLY FAILING TO MEET SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS STANDARDS, RESULTING IN FEDERALLY MANDATED SUSPENSION. So yeah, you can teach here and do okay, for a little while. Folks are mostly nice, some of the students are great, and the money sure beats the hell out of adjunct pay at a local University or CC. But good luck sleeping at night.
