Better fit a very specific mold in order to get ahead

Pros

Fellow employees are some of the best people you could hope to meet. Nice fitness center for employee and student use. Lots of opportunities to help potential and current students with their educational goals. This can be a very rewarding place to work. Compensation for entry-level positions is higher than that at WMU.

Cons

Upper management appears to be crazy sometimes. Lots of playing politics. Most new hires and "movers and shakers" seem to fit one mold -- young, white, and thin. Not a lot of diversity among people in decision-making positions. Lack of responsibility at the management level leaves front-line staff with having to bear the brunt of angry students.

Overall positive group of people, very nice facilities

Pros

A good number of smart instructors. Smart, caring management. Or if the ones that aren't so smart, are at least caring. The facilities are top-notch, paid for by a residential property tax--all residents pay for KVCC even if they never attend! Every class has a few really engaged students who can provide some feeling of accomplishment and value to you as a teacher.

Cons

- Like any organization, there are some bizarre or silly rules that make no sense - Many students are zoned out and distracted - The pay for a part-time or adjunct instructor is almost criminally low--if it wasn't an interesting and overall positive experience to part-time teach, they would have no instructors--no one could live on this salary
