Pros

What more can you say? Of course the pros are working with the students. The other faculty are mostly a pleasure to work with as well.

Cons

The people in most upper administrative positions are completely clueless on how to do their own jobs, or anyone else's. They delegate most, if not all, of their responsibilities to lower admin workers and overload them until they get fed up and quit, or get fired because they can no longer perform the overwhelming amount of work. They spend most of their days going around the office chit chatting while the instructors and lower administrators are working their tails off. They are also allowed to leave whenever they please as they are not required to clock in or out, while just about everyone else is. So the main culprits of doing absolutely nothing, are the same people who get to come and go as they please. Of course the upper administrators are never let go for this, but don't forget your place at the bottom. Remember to do your job and theirs, and stay chained to your desk while they come in late and go home early.

Pros

Seemed to be trying to put their "best face forward." Kind, friendly admin staff.

Cons

GTCC takes you through a very intense interviewing process. If you are unemployed and not confident that this is where you want to work, I do not recommend wasting your time with this institution. I was called in for two separate positions and went to campus 5 different times for interview-related appointments. Pretty sure that I had the experience and the know-how to have been a great addition to the teams; however, I think one thing kept me from getting hired. This is a rural area and unfortunately, the ideals or standards clearly reflect old-school practices while trying to appear as forward-thinking. They mentioned in 2 of the interviews that they serve the 'underserved,' so I would take this into consideration before applying as this points to the trend of colleges in the US that are after Federal funding, leaving many students, graduates, and government in financial predicaments in the future. This affects us all.

Pros

Great place to work, if you are passionate about helping others succeed.

Cons

Frequent budgetary constraints. Students are sometimes an after thought when decisions are made.
