Pros

The students are always wonderful -- the best part of the job.

Cons

Since just before the pandemic, certain members of the administration have forced through a reorganization of the college according to recommendations of high-priced outside consultants. The result is chaos, low morale, burnout, increasingly bloated management, and faculty who have been ready to strike since 2021. In 2022, it just keeps getting worse.

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.
