Wake Technical Community College FAQ

Flexible and accommodating. Great work life balance

Poor communication between departments. Red Tape (its the state...things take forever).

Most students are wonderful to work with. There are occasional students who don't do their work and try to blame you for their failures, but most are a pleasure to work with. The newer buildings and technology is also a plus.

Worst bureaucracy I've seen in my 25 years in education. Useless paperwork, reports, & inefficient practices. I really felt like I was back working in a high school. The full-time salaries and adjunct pay rates are among lowest in the nation. NC healthcare benefits are horrendous. The administration is overrun with dishonest Republicans who micromanage (go figure with the their Big Govt arguments). I saw several progressive-minded (and long-time) employees forced out by younger less experienced admins. They use fear tactics to control staff & faculty. Dysfunctional culture and phony cliques not welcoming to outsiders or those who are more accomplished. Least academic freedom I've ever seen. Books, syllabi, tests, They want everything standardized. It's agony.

Look into some 21st century leadership leadership approaches and get out of NC a bit.

Profesional development. Great environment to work Great benefits (State benefits-medical, retirement etc$

Lack of flexibility, when an instructor is sick or have a family emergency.. you have your sick days but can’t call in sick
