Houston Community College reviews

-very top heavy management. Too many vcs, avcs, and presidents of each college making six figures, yet threaten support staff with budget cuts all the time. - very, very old technology. PeopleSoft is living in the stone ages and it negatively impacts students and staff. Every other college is light years away. - management does not listen to student support services , makes decisions in a bubble without consulting the people who see students daily, that in turn negatively impacts students. Student services then blames us for low enrollment,and students blame us for lacking to help. We are caught in the middle. - lots of nepotism and politics, and little room for growth. -lack of professional development -pay is lower than school teachers

One of the most toxic environments I've ever worked in, with much lower than average pay. Still reeling from a major restructuring, people are being shuffled around to different campuses. Additionally, and specific to IT, the management is extremely cheap and prefers easy, low-cost bandaid solutions to problems. Most of the equipment is very outdated and nearly impossible to maintain. Also, not a welcoming or friendly environment.
