Pros

Most of the staff and faculty that I have engaged with are positive, dedicated, professional, and student success focused. There are pockets of solid programs, departments, and services throughout the campus. The good at WCC is really good.

Cons

Inconsistent hiring practices...it's sometimes about who you know rather than what you know. Huge discrepancy in pay between the top half and the lower half of the hierarchy. Little to no opportunities for advancement and upward mobility. Leadership typically talks big without backing it up with action. Pockets of poorly run and managed departments and programs = wasted tax dollars.

Pros

Time management isn't something that can be trained but through this job it was something I had to learn. Additionally, at times where I felt too much pressure, my boss was someone I could comfortably go to and ask for a break.

Cons

A lot of my team members quit as they couldn't handle the pressure. This almost influenced me to throw the towel in as well.

Pros

The Office of Student Life and Development has a lovely, supportive team. It is a great place to be a part of, and yo u truly feel your impact on the school and the students' lives. There are students in the on campus government team and event teams, and they are a joy to work alongside. I had such ana amazing time being a small part of a strong team!

Cons

The beginning and end of the school years are always a busy time! I wouldn't say it's a con, just something to keep in mind.
