Pros

Overall the coworkers are great and hardworking.

Cons

Too many institutional barriers for current employees. Anyone looking to advance with the college has to leave (usually for 2 years) then come back. HR also takes advantage of people in interim positions. It's quite common to "promote" folks into interim positions (up to 2 years) and then either move them back into their old job or pay them less than someone with the same qualifications coming from outside the organization.

Pros

The people. PCC hires many wonderful, talented, well-meaning people who really care about their community. Other pros include, flexibility like being able to choose your own schedule, and trust in hired employees to do their work on their terms.

Cons

Major con is how messy the entire college seems to be. Massive lack in any semblance of effective communication. Nobody seems to know whats going on and everyone is almost always on a different page. Company structure is always changing and people are never notified in an organized or timely manner. Everyone seems spread too thin regardless of what position they are in and nobody seems to have the time to get on the same page. Layoffs seem to be commonly caused by lack of planning and communication. Onboarding was practically nonexistent and as a new employee i basically had to figure out everything on my own without any guidance.
