Pros

The benefits of working here are great, especially if you are a working and/or single parent. The one thing I've loved about working her the most is how supportive everyone is of your work life balance. Being able to use half my sick days a year to take time off for my child has been wonderful. Additionally, the dependent educational benefits are great. Health care and other medical insurances are okay. Most people are genuinely nice here. Pay here is again just okay, but much better than the other colleges around us.

Cons

The benefit are different if you are salaried than if you are hourly. Still, not bad if you are the hourly, but it is noticeable - especially retirement benefits. While salaried people get 4 weeks of vacation right away, it will take 10 years of employment for hourly staff to reach the same level. Raises have been painfully thin the last few years.

Pros

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Cons

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
