Pros

Great people, Family-like place to work

Cons

Management is very far removed from workers. Trying to run campuses with a skeleton crew. The college seems less focused on students and staff, then on the mighty dollar. Significant layoffs have taken place, (probably 5 rounds this year that I know about), leaving people without the experience necessary to be successful to fill the voids created. The regents just rubber stamp everything and are useless.

We regret to hear that you find management removed from its workers. Baker College prides itself with being a hands-on employer, with easy access to its staff and management. As far as your concern with the hiring process at Baker College, all open positions are posted on the Baker website and current employees are notified weekly via their Baker College email. Baker College is an equal opportunity employer and carefully considers each applicant to find the most qualified candidate for each position. As with other higher education institutions, we are in an environment of change. Baker College is confident that we are taking the appropriate steps to positively support our students and staff.
