Pros

Very good benefits and management within my department is stellar - they believe in the work we do and provide a great work environment for their employees. Pay is about industry standard and the hours are normal. General communication with managers and co-workers is spot on.

Cons

The politics are ridiculous - part of the beast with the public sector. That being said you don't have to play their games and they can't really do anything about it.

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.
