Disgustingly underpaid. While the current adjunct crisis is nationwide, adjuncts are treated horrifically here.

Business Outlook

Pros

The commute wasn't bad. However, with three campuses, they posted me at the two farthest from my home for the first two years I worked there. It's a good place to be if you want to see a wide variety of students, or people in general.

Cons

Tons of mandatory overtime is required, and the salaries are horrible. Work-life balance does not exist. The management is terrified of the upper level administration, so we see a classic situation of "the kid kicking the dog."
