Good place to work for the most part

Pros

Most of the staff and faculty that I have engaged with are positive, dedicated, professional, and student success focused. There are pockets of solid programs, departments, and services throughout the campus. The good at WCC is really good.

Cons

Inconsistent hiring practices...it's sometimes about who you know rather than what you know. Huge discrepancy in pay between the top half and the lower half of the hierarchy. Little to no opportunities for advancement and upward mobility. Leadership typically talks big without backing it up with action. Pockets of poorly run and managed departments and programs = wasted tax dollars.

Pros

There is a great community feel to working for this college. Faculty and staff coordinate well and conferences and training are provided for these two groups to mix and learn together.

Cons

A downside is the proportionally low salary of faculty and/or staff. The executive board and leaders of the school are better paid and rightfully so. Just be aware it's a community college operated by state funds.
