Great people/Terrible Leadership - Director Kentucky Community and Technical College System Employee Review

fellow employees are like my family

i cant think of even one

Co-workers are awesome. You genuinely do some good for the community by educating a diverse array of engaged students. That's about it.

Admin expect you to do well over 100 hours of interval service, external service, and elective PD in your first year on top of a massive slate of an utterly useless new faculty program. All of this as a brand new faculty member just trying to get your feet under you will drown you while you get paid about $10,000 less than if you'd just gone to teach at the local high school. You'll also be expected to learn how to advise students outside of your area of expertise with an archaic program that Satan himself created: PeopleSoft. Higher-ups tend to ignore serious faculty council concerns and everyone just kind of shrugs and resigns themselves to concerns being addressed as quickly as molasses in winter, if at all.
