Business Outlook

Pros

Really laid back environment. A lot of communication between the supervisors and the employees.

Cons

Sometimes it was evident that certain employee's opinions were considered less than others. Obvious weak workers were spared any time of criticism or termination due to what I'd consider unwillingness to hire a new employee.

Low pay, high class sizes, shared office, yet best in area

Business Outlook

Pros

Colleagues, staff, and students are nice. Pays the most in the area (but still poverty wages). By far, shows most concern for the situation of adjuncts.

Cons

Low pay, poverty wages if you have kids. No benefits. Large class sizes (60+). Cramped single office shared with many other faculty.
