Toxic culture - Financial Aid Counselor Pensacola State College Employee Review

collaborative, transparent, engaged, supportive, knowledgeable

The salary is slightly lower than other comparative colleges

- The medical benefits are great. For employees without a spouse or dependents, the coverage is fully funded by the state and comes with a very low deductible. - Job stability is extremely strong. - You continue to receive pay during spring break, Thanksgiving break, and the Christmas holidays. - Paid time off is reasonable and fair. - Numerous colleagues have advanced into higher roles both within this department and across other areas of the college. - Twice a year the college hosts a Professional Development Day, offering complimentary meals from Sonny’s BBQ and allowing employees to attend development workshops to enhance their careers. - The work provides a genuine sense of purpose.

- There are numerous people who will report anything you say--whether it's good or bad--to a higher up for the simple purpose of telling them. - Occasionally, an employee from one department speaks on behalf of another without the necessary knowledge or training. When someone in Department A provides information that actually falls under Department B’s purview and gets it wrong, the student receives inaccurate information and becomes upset. - The hourly pay is not that good (around $18 per hour). - From time to time, you’re asked to work a few hours on a Saturday. - The standard workweek is 37.5 hours rather than a full 40 hours. - Annual salary increases typically only range between 2% and 3%.
