Pros

Benefits are competitive. Team environment amongst the "doers". We help each other to get the job done. For those of us at a coordinator or lower position I'm sure we concur that our work benefits the students and focus on the core mission of the College.

Cons

Executive and Senior Management have no idea what is being done and by who (both positive and negative). They are clueless about the "silo strongholds" being built versus torn down. Management is power stricken and title driven. Everyone is micromanaged and unable to do their jobs. Too much time is spent hovering or dictating what should or shouldn't be done. Sometimes it's actually funny because what they are requiring us to do goes completely against standard procedures or what they've dictated the week before.

Pros

Helping students from very diverse backgrounds move their academic and career ambitions forward; good work / life balance. Administration does seem to look out for the staff in most cases (for example, when community college funding dropped state-wide following the 2008 economic meltdown, Wake Tech was able to avoid measures like mandatory furloughs and downsizing).

Cons

Campuses are not terribly convenient to the more densely populated areas of Wake County, necessitating long commute times and working in places without much around in terms of restaurants and shopping; very limited resources compared to 4-year state schools means absolutely no frills and in some cases, sub-par offerings (tutoring centers are way understaffed, libraries are underfunded and have little autonomy, adjunct instructors are sometimes not skilled or particularly knowledgeable).
