Pros

Can't think of anything that impressed me, unfortunately. I worked here for a couple of years and was pleased to secure a full-time position elsewhere.

Cons

There's a history of contractual negotiating issues and associated contention/turmoil, sweeping threats or worries about layoffs due to declining enrollment that has yet to recover, several long-term administrators have been mysteriously and involuntarily "retired" after over 25 years of dedicated service (leaving numerous offices empty and positions unfilled for a long time now), departments have been consolidated and positions have also been eliminated altogether as a massive restructuring has occurred and continues to happen, and one campus is uncomfortably under construction causing issue to faculty and students attempting to hold class. This is not a college that grows it's faculty either. Nepotism has been a serious issue, hiring some highly unqualified people just as an obvious favor, or hiring others from out of state, instead of hiring qualified internal talent. Also, adjunct employees do teach a significant amount of the classes at this college, but are treated quite poorly. They are not provided health insurance, and only compensated at a fraction of what full-time teaching faculty earn for teaching the exact same classes. Professional development is mostly offered when semesters are not in session, which is not always convenient for everyone. Too many classes are clustered together in just a couple of days rather than spreading them out throughout the semester. I was very happy to leave. This is not a pleasant place to work - very unstable. I cannot recommend.

Pros

Most of the pros are now gone. Once was a flexible, nimble, caring institution.

Cons

Severe and unnecessary changes so that the current president controls everything. She's hired yes men and women to do what she wants. This has led to a disastrous decline in enrollment.

Pros

Free housing and utilities, tuition reimbursement, professional development funds, great benefits

Cons

Overwork their employees. You are getting paid for 40 hours/week but you'll be working 50 hours. They do not have enough staff for the size of the campus. RDs are on-call for emergencies 25% of the time. You'll regularly work nights, weekends, and holidays. You will often be up until 5am dealing with resident problems, fights, parties, medical emergencies, and suicidal residents. You will not be properly trained to handle these incidents. Sexual harassment is not taken seriously.
