Pros

One of the best things about working for BRCC is the paid holidays and lack of micromanaging. They also have a cafeteria on campus that is ran by the culinary school that they recently merged with. I was also able to get cheap Microsoft Office software with my staff badge. The campus is nice and the police on campus make you feel safe.

Cons

The major downside to working at BRCC at any level in any department is navigating the politics. You MUST watch your back at all times. Have a exit strategy. Look for ways that you could get blamed for someone else's mistake because odds are you will! Document, document, document!

Pros

Excellent coworkers, potential to be a great institution.

Cons

Real problems in administration that appear to be ignored by the college management system. Poor leadership from Vice-Chancellor to Chancellor level. High turnover rate and low morale. Lack of funding is also a real issue. The college can not excel without resources.

Pros

Flexible schedule Some nice facilities Modern campus The library is beautiful Mostly small classes with exception to a few classes

Cons

Where to start? Human resources is a complete mess. You're greeted with rudeness if you ask questions about your own pay. (Ignoring employees concerns led to a mass over payment that had to be repaid). I worked there 5 years and only saw administrators in our area once (unless they were touring someone). It's nearly impossible to get a meeting with the administrator directly over your department. You have to go through your direct boss.... But if your boss is the issue then who do you go through? No communication between departments. The left hand never knows what the right is doing. Employees are so rude to students. It's very disheartening. Absolutely no raises given. Even with great evaluations. Wait, the chancellor receives yearly raises. But no one else. Seems fair right?
