Pros
Great to be in such a community role, assisting with individuals of all walks of life and ages in getting skills that help them acquire careers and sustainable incomes. Institution has grown rather quickly and is addressing adding technology, space, etc., to accommodate growth and improve student experience. As an employee was exposed to many projects and tasks that kept me creative and in tune with changes in education delivery. Met many employees who were very student focused and caring.
Cons
Rapid growth brings challenges in technology, space, etc., but college is addressing. Decision making is often centered in one or two leadership roles which can bottleneck needed change or responsiveness to stakeholders. Many of the employees are there to care for students, but there are some who are more concerned about adhering to the process than the student experience or the struggles a student may be experiencing to stay in education.
