Good benefits, low pay, toxic culture

Anonymous employee

Pros

Good (but not stellar) benefits. Free KCTCS tuition (can be used on dependents). Pockets of good culture.

Cons

Increasingly toxic work culture with top down leadership. Low pay and after a salary study that cost over a hundred thousand dollars, they simply changed people's titles to justify not bringing people to market rates.

Great people/Terrible Leadership

Pros

Some of the most dedicated faculty and staff I've ever worked with. I really liked my colleagues.

Cons

Executive leadership is terrible and, against all odds, getting worse. The current system president is slick which is what you get when you hire a politician. The pay is bad. It is clear that leadership cares more about their own salaries and power than they do about the survival of the organization.

Pros

I was lucky enough to be present during outstanding leadership at the president level, and a part of a team that had an equally amazing leader. That was the only pro.

Cons

The list could be a long one. The system of KCTCS will likely be a thing of the past in a short few years. The colleges do not want to be a system, and the board knows that. Current leadership also doesn’t want to be a system. This is all apparent by the mass decentralization that is occurring organization wide, and the mass layoffs that have been occurring at the system office. KCTCS has even openly admitted to moving “backwards” when it comes to process and efficiencies since the leadership has changed.
