Macomb Community College reviews

- Huge disconnect between staff/students. MOST of the staff treat the students like dirt - Many of the employees work in customer-service oriented positions, yet have NO BUSINESS working with people. They're grouchy, cold, and rude. They belong in a cubicle hidden away from the public - Lack of loyalty to current staff. Will pass up some amazing employees for promotions and then bring in someone from the outside with a fancy degree who has never worked in the local area or at a community college before - Most positions are part time or adjunct. You struggle to make ends meet and see full-time employees enjoying high salaries, lots of vacation time, paid tuition for masters degrees, etc. It's disheartening & frustrating - Lots of "office politics" and favorites - Lots of old people who should have retired a long time ago... - No staff parking unless you're full time - You don't get "days off," but you accumulate hours for sick time and vacations based on how much you work, which is limited by the college - Even though South and Center are both MCC, they feel like completely different worlds. For example, the math or english dept at one campuses teaches differently and uses different textbooks - You hear a lot of negative experiences from students which is so frustrating - Time and time again, you'll hear how the counseling/advising dept fails students - Your hours will be cut during slow times and you'll be worked to the bone during busy times - You might have a new schedule EVERY single semester

No worthwhile benefits. No healthcare. For most areas, your schedule will change depending on student traffic. Many depts cut hours during "slower times" for student traffic (to save money), and will then max out your hours during very busy times. Part-timers have a cap of 25 hours per week and you are NOT allowed to work more because that would entitle you to benefits! Do not take a part time job with Macomb if you're expecting it to turn into a full time opportunity or career. It's possible, yes, but VERY unlikely. Many part time workers have been there FOREVERR expecting that to happen, but now they're just career part timers. Lots of politics at this college. HUGE lack of communication everywhere. Low pay, usually starts at min wage. This place still uses paper time cards. Upper management are spoiled and act like it. Big disconnect between full-time and part time staff.
