Business Outlook
Pros
The staff, faculty, and students at Ivy Tech Community College are all friendly and worth knowing. I have met a lot of great people. The class sizes are small (7-25 students) and the Bloomington campus has nice classrooms, library, computer labs, a cafe, and a comfortable adjunct office.
Cons
The major downside of working as an adjunct with Ivy Tech Community College is the low pay and no benefits. I am only getting paid about $1500 for an online 8-week class this summer and I ordinarily make a little over $6300 for teaching four courses in a 16-week semester. To provide comparison, at the local university an adjunct can make about $6000 per course and adjuncts are only expected/allowed to teach two courses per semester.
