Pros

Coworkers are mostly all other students. It's a diverse workplace and everyone is supportive and nice. PCC overall is a good environment.

Cons

All of the Student Engagement management was white. They have terrible boundaries with their employees and each other. They were extremely disorganized - would often tell you something one moment and forget it the next. You're often held accountable for your entitled, forgetful boss' mistakes in this position.

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.
