Pros

The Deans are very loyal and trustworthy. They work within their parameters to help you succeed. Faculty truly want to help students succeed. Overall, it is a great place for students to get an affordable education that does transfer to a lot of schools if they choose to further their 2-year degree.

Cons

There is not a whole lot of room for growth and regardless of expertise that is brought to the table, the words "We can't do that." come up a lot. The institution in the region where I am is in the red a lot and no budget for our department. I pay a lot out of my own pocket for faculty development and they do not reimburse you for furthering your education claiming that it is not necessary for your job. They expect you to drive 6 hours in one day for professional development that is required without overnight accommodations. They pile on more and more responsibilities each year and there has only been 1 raise across the board in the last 6 years. I can get an increase of $20K, just going across state lines for the same job.

Pros

Flexible scheduling. Good coworkers. Meaningful work. Above average campus support.

Cons

Low pay, with no possibilities of raises for the last couple of years and probably for the next could have years as well. Ever increasing responsibilities as statewide leadership changes and state funding cuts occur. Disconnect between statewide leadership and local campus needs.
