Pros

Great students and faculty. Good potential for professional development and promotion for instructors.

Cons

My department head was a nightmare to work for. She is known throughout the college for being difficult to work with and being a bully. Poor senior management is the only explanation as to how someone like that could be with the college 20+ years.

Pros

Work life balance is very good as an instructor.

Cons

Be prepared that most students will not be motivated; many are just playing a financial aid game. PD, benchmarking, advising 150+ students/instructor, mandatory faculty work days before and after the semester is over, mandatory advising hours, etc. There is a lot of minutia that really frustrates the faculty and I would assume it affects their teaching whether they admit it or not. The pay is terrible and HR will lowball you on the offer. On the positive side, it is standardized so you can expect your peers to be paid relatively the same.

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.
