Pros

Close to freeway, minimal smog and low taxes, Salary scale is OK.

Cons

Traffic jams on Interstate 80. Poor inexperienced Deans. Limited awareness among higher level administrators of the classroom environment.Never see Deans or higher level administrators in the classroom areas. Dean has never visited my classroom but she has all of the answers. Lots of politics. Most students feel entitled and are generally lazy. Little respect by Deans given to professors, both fulltime and adjuncts. Non diverse atmosphere with nearly all white student body and faculty.Generally low morale among staff and faculty; just ask them privately. Poor communication between Deans and faculty. The college is on accreditation "watch" and the college is considered a "diploma mill" according to some college and university faculty and administrators.

Pros

I enjoy the work-life flexibility and student-first mentality. I was always able to get time off if I needed it, and even if I was late to work because of traffic, that was understood and worked around, though there weren't many student custodians working at Sierra College so I would guess anybody would've been better than nobody at that time. I love how I got to play into my strengths at the position I worked at; I thrive on clear expectations and working independently, so I had a routine that I would usually go through unless someone told me to do otherwise, which was always communicated. I am lucky to have had this as my first job.

Cons

Not many bonuses, only minimum wage. Probably the kind of place to work if you don't care much about money for any reason.
