Pros

The advantages of working at PCC are in the students and people. People are friendly, often asking you how you're doing and showing interest in what you have to say. The employees are also incredibly friendly and professional, which makes working with a team fulfilling.

Cons

Unfortionaly, the people I worked with often didn't have a grasp on some of the more "User Based" problems. They were knowledgeable, but the program we used to manage the appointments for the tutoring center often faced problems that went unfixed. This made it awkward and confusing for the students.

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.
