Pros
Being IN the classroom with the students; most REALLY want to learn. The rest of it ...not so much. I signed up to TEACH not double as an 'admin.'
Cons
The rest of it ... incredibly bureaucratic, disorganized, with some exceptions support is virtually non existent, communication is sorely lacking, (the right & left hands DEFINITELY do not talk to each other), etc. No one (NO ONE!) expects to get rich as an adjunct but the difference between what they pay and what is expected is not just a gap but more like a canyon (many/most pay more). Spent way too much time doing administrative chores. In the dictionary, under the phrase "how to leverage your adjuncts" it should say "see OCC"
