Pros

People truly care about their jobs and keeping with Emily Griffith's (the person) original goal: Help people better their lives by getting trained in a career. The reason the students have a good experience is because of the dedication of the people who work directly with them in spite of the hurdles caused by the leadership.

Cons

The leadership leaves a lot to be desired. They talk about being transparent yet make decisions without involving the people who will be affected by those decisions. Communication across the college is a constant problem. The leadership changes what they want constantly as well. The departments have a hard time recognizing what is truly being asked of them. As an individual you make work hard on a project just to have the leadership dismiss it, even when the leadership asked for the project. I would not recommend anyone to work at EGTC with the current leadership. The medical insurance is not very good. It is expensive with high deductibles, especially if your family is on it.

Pros

Love the mission of the school. The ghost of Emily walks these halls. People work hard here. They love to serve the underserved. If you are mission driven it is great.

Cons

Pay is great for entry level positions but somewhat flat after that. Funding is always a challenge

Pros

- The people I work with excel at creating a friendly and welcoming environment for students and staff. - Supervisors trust you to do your job and treat you like an adult. - Pension plan! - Remote work Fridays

Cons

- Equipment and technology available to staff are old, janky, and constantly breaking down. The accounting software we use (Jenzabar) is some of the worst software I've ever had the misfortune of working with. - HR and Payroll teams are a joke. I'm sure they're overworked and underresourced but it takes weeks to get any kind of response from them. - No flex work arrangements outside of Fridays. - Positions have stringent professional requirements and low compensation compared to the private sector. - Communication between departments and stakeholders can be pretty badly lacking.
