Pros
Faculty and students are awesome Contributing to your community through education
Cons
Staff were treated poorly and lied to by administration during the transition to Dallas College. Many were laid off ("not rehired") or demoted with pay cuts. Those left behind had to do more work for less pay. Know that if you are hired here, you will likely be making much less money than the person that you are replacing. This also true for new full-time faculty being hired to replace older faculty that have been forced out. New faculty do not receive 3 year contracts, only temporary 1-year contracts that may not be renewed the next year. The pay was always low, but it is lower than ever for new faculty and staff. In addition, the job stability is gone. Things are unlikely to improve due to projected enrollment decreases due to a decline in the numbers of traditional college age students.
