Vantaggi

Decent teaching resources supplies, administrative support. Administrative paperwork largely not a problem or distraction. Good blackboard system.

Svantaggi

Admin clearly expects adjuncts (in my case at least) to just pass students through at the minimum acceptable grade for continuation. I took the job for personal and professional reward, certainly not for the pay. It was the most demoralizing experience in my teaching career to be pressured to pass medical-track students who cannot do the equivalent of middle-school pre-algebra. The implicit view among too many, faculty and admin is that a student cannot fail on his own. Therefore, it must be the professor's fault. Shameful. Smells like cowardice.

Vantaggi

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Svantaggi

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.

Vantaggi

Great Benefits, Vacation, Sick Days, Personal Days

Svantaggi

parking is normally far away from your building, and normally growth within your unit is difficult, so you have to tranfer to another to grow.
