Pros

Working with students, and providing resources that guarantee their success, is wonderful. Great way to start learning about the library field. Coworkers are often pleasant. Often room for advancement.

Cons

Low pay and no benefits to really speak of if you are not a classified employee. Hours capped at 599 for the academic year, so you can work an average of 12 hours a week at most. A lot of responsibility put on casuals for such low wages.

Pros

The people. PCC hires many wonderful, talented, well-meaning people who really care about their community. Other pros include, flexibility like being able to choose your own schedule, and trust in hired employees to do their work on their terms.

Cons

Major con is how messy the entire college seems to be. Massive lack in any semblance of effective communication. Nobody seems to know whats going on and everyone is almost always on a different page. Company structure is always changing and people are never notified in an organized or timely manner. Everyone seems spread too thin regardless of what position they are in and nobody seems to have the time to get on the same page. Layoffs seem to be commonly caused by lack of planning and communication. Onboarding was practically nonexistent and as a new employee i basically had to figure out everything on my own without any guidance.
