Pros

Everyone at this place on site in Aurora CO (admin, staff, faculty) is top notch, supportive and brilliant . An amazing team that can accomplish amazing things....like helping disabled Vets nearly homeless on the streets getting wind and solar jobs that pay well.

Cons

If you are "staff" (admin, admissions, FAFSA) keep building your resume, because you are likely to get laid off at any time with no warning. Not from local Ecotech, from ECA in Alabama. Librarian - position eliminated, now full-time faculty have to work extra hours to cover in the library. Student Services - Position eliminated. Career services, cut down to 1 person. FAFSA - cut down. New policy - we had too many copy/print machines, cut down from 8 to 3. Students no longer have a copy machine in the library, and faculty copy/print machines went from 2 to 1.....now when it breaks there is no backup other than printing your student assignments at the UPS store down the road and paying for it out of your pocket. Completely failed admin system, some professors have to buy their own lab supplies out of pocket. Expect last-minute schedule changes that destroy your vacation plans, "sorry that you already paid for that vacation, nothing we can do." None of this comes from local at Ecotech, this pile of crap is dropped upon these great people from a bunch of folks in Alabama who have never taught a class in their lives.

Pros

Most of the people that work there are good people and easy to work with. I was always able to just work and didn't really have anyone breathing down my neck. Nice office/desk area.

Cons

They are very disorganized and just recently reorganized. The financial aid office is a mess, they keep changing the staff every few months so the students get very frustrated by not having the same person/people to go to, it's always someone new that doesn't know what is going on at first. As soon as they have things in control and on track with the students they change the staff and they are back to square one. The admissions department is all over the place, they have a procedure they are supposed to follow and never do. If they did things might run better. Like other people have said, the corporate office has control of everything and for a lot of things there is no-one on campus to go to.
