Pros

Watching students succeed! I am grateful for my time here during a transition in life and location. The benefits and wellness program are excellent, with clean facilities and a nice building. The 9-5, Monday to Friday schedule ensures a perfect work/life balance. The e-learning benefits and comprehensive health care coverage (medical, dental, vision) are fantastic. Advancement opportunities are real, with internal openings every six months, which is great for resume building. The faculty, deans, and leadership are exceptional, expertly handling challenges and fostering a team effort to help students succeed. You will never feel alone in your job. I wish everyone the best!
