Pros

Nice people to work with. Because it's a state job, the longer you stay, the more you'll make. That said, don't expect to get rich teaching. Extra classes are offered, so if you're willing to work harder, you can earn some side cash. Schedules are generally flexible, and I've known other schools to require significantly more office hours of faculty.

Cons

It used to be great. I had zero complaints when I first started. Over time, however, it became more business-like and less academic. More random paperwork and data collection. More professional development activities that aren't necessarily helpful (but are required). Benchmark reports that take up an excessive amount of time when what faculty really want/need is to catch up on grading, prep for classes, and work with students. There's very little time to study one's industry or try new teaching/grading methods. When students need extra help, it's tough to make it happen. There is just too much to do, and administration keeps piling it on (committees, special programs, accessibility, annual HR requirements, etc.). Morale is low, and the powers that be don't seem to notice or care.

Pros

Students are wonderful and instructors have some freedom to determine how they will teach.

Cons

It is almost impossible to get a full time job with benefits. The community college system runs on part time instructors.

Pros

Great coworkers with a overall team environment.

Cons

Supervising styles have changed from the top of the ladder down. Employees are no longer valued. The integrity and morale of employees has diminished. Lots of tension in departments across several campuses due to these changes. Students can feel the tension and are affected by the change.
