Pros

Once you learn the job, it is repetitive and that can be re-assuring Management is nice and accepts feedback well Coworkers are great and the company generally cares about your education and well being (to a point... see Cons) There is a new system coming in October 2026 which will change the responsibilities of this posting and should drastically improve the existing overwhelm of the many hats we wear in this position.

Cons

There is so much work to do that it feels like you cannot catch up While management is nice it feels like no one listens when we say there's too much work for the amount of staff we have and their hands are tied by hiring freezes so when things don't get done in a timely manner, because it's impossible for so few employees to do so much with so little time, and it affects other departments we come out looking like the bad guys. Despite running ourselves into the ground to try and just keep up. That makes you feel like you're running as fast as you can but you're in a hamster wheel and, despite clearly being on the verge of collapse, you're being yelled at you're not working hard enough.

Pros

Amazing company to work with was struggling with back pain before back surgery put me in a less demanding position instead of letting me go.

Pros

- Relatively free to design course structure (within reason) - Benefits are above average - Values diversity

Cons

- Pay is very low, everyone is overqualified - Impossible to be promoted even from within, someone always has someone specific in mind when hiring, picks favorites - Dinosaurs rule the college and are completely out of touch with the student experience. Worse so, they don't seem to care at all about students - Longtime staff cares more for their cushy positions than the college's mission - HR is mean and rude to everyone all the time for little to no reason. Meanest people I've ever had to deal with, and most people are nothing but nice to them - Extremely political, people pick favorites, likes you for no reason, or dislikes you for no reason - Attitude by longtime staff is outdated, stubborn, "my way or the high way", "if I had to struggle so should everyone else" - Communition break down at every level, refusal from anyone with any real authority to address this. - Will overwork you and assign you to half a dozen committees that you have no place in being assigned to - Demands growth but stubbornly refuses to invest to create such growth
