Pros

Great benefits, healthy work and learning community, love my students and coworkers. A lot of freedom, space to grow and advancement. Start pay is low but over time, it will add up.

Cons

They keep too many old lazy people around because they are afraid to fire them. I see so many unproductive staffs and manager taking advantage of the system. Parking is horrible at very campus and work space is very limited.

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.
