      I worked at University of Southern California part-time for more than 4 years

      Pros

      Pay was ok. Benefits ok for part-time.

      Cons

      Inconsistent responsiveness and commitment to part-time faculty. But, expectations that part-time faculty with one class commit by not teaching other places. Puts part-time faculty in a bind. Not really rewarded with promotion based on qualifications and merit but politics at play. Lack of organization and transparency. Give fewer or no class without much notice-income drop unexpected.

      Advice to Management

      Be fair to all faculty. Promote based on merit, level of education and performance, not politics. Why are less qualified faculty in charge of more qualified faculty?
