Pros

The overall mission to serve the community is a good one and they are continually innovating.

Cons

The South campus is sorely in need of repairs and upgrades. Department heads are very concerned with how many students are in a class, so offerings needing a low student to teacher ratio are more likely to be cut.

Pros

Most students are wonderful to work with. There are occasional students who don't do their work and try to blame you for their failures, but most are a pleasure to work with. The newer buildings and technology is also a plus.

Cons

Worst bureaucracy I've seen in my 25 years in education. Useless paperwork, reports, & inefficient practices. I really felt like I was back working in a high school. The full-time salaries and adjunct pay rates are among lowest in the nation. NC healthcare benefits are horrendous. The administration is overrun with dishonest Republicans who micromanage (go figure with the their Big Govt arguments). I saw several progressive-minded (and long-time) employees forced out by younger less experienced admins. They use fear tactics to control staff & faculty. Dysfunctional culture and phony cliques not welcoming to outsiders or those who are more accomplished. Least academic freedom I've ever seen. Books, syllabi, tests, They want everything standardized. It's agony.

Pros

People are very nice and friendly, schedule is flexible, very open to new ideas and continuously improving the courses.The pandemic and the uncertainty around it has presented many challenges but I think that WTCC has handled it about as well as possible.

Cons

Lots of last minute instructions - usually valuable but I wish they could be shared earlier.
