CSU Fullerton Reviews

Former Employee – worked at CSU Fullerton part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Good hours if you have kids in school
Good hourly rate of pay
Great atmosphere
Good students
Good coworkers

Cons – Very little advancement opportunities for adjunct instructors
No benefits
No job security
Curriculum was "DIY" with very little support or direction from above
Adjunct teachers do the majority of the work for little pay and benefits
The system is set up to take advantage of the "drones", the part-time teachers who chase the carrot of potential full-time work that the state can't afford to hire full-time.

Pros – Enjoy working with students. Have to take locals who are not motivated but several of the students from outside the geographical "must take" them are seeking education, not just a place to be for 4 years. Those are a joy.

Cons – Big bureaucracy, Heavy with support staff that make it difficult to get much support. "Smart" classrooms that are not "smart", but somewhat automated.

Advice to Senior Management – More effort on getting motivated students. Better ways of dealing with "entitled" mentalities. Some mechanism that describes employer expectations to better prepare our students for current work environment. Some will go on to academic careers, but most will seek jobs.
