Pros

Great ID team! The Office of Distance and Extended Learning is a dynamic and engaging group. Very busy but also rewarding! Hybrid telecommuting arrangement is a huge plus.

Cons

Very busy- not for the person who wants to be idle, but this is also a plus for many people like me.

Pros

Good health benefits, a lot of opportunities for professional development opportunities, networking, and getting to know staff from across the university.

Cons

Working as an AAIII is difficult when there are other offices who have Directors, Deans, or supervisors who feel like they are above accountability and slow to respond

Adjunct Faculty

Pros

Great experience to get into teaching professionally. My colleagues were supportive. I received valuable training for Allies - LGBTQiA+ to serve my students.

Cons

Adjunct teaching is a pyramid scheme and relies on labor of part-time employees who commute an hour to the university to teach one class per semester. As I'm sure you can guess, it wasn't sustainable. I had two other jobs to make ends meet and have health insurance. Other part-time adjunct faculty who were my colleagues climbed the ladder to teach three or four classes a semester, but it still wasn't enough compensation for their time and expertise. If you aren't tenure-track, you're always going to be on the bottom of the food chain in academia.
