Some people are wonderful to work with. 
The job descriptions however are all encompassing. The salary is low– 55,000 for a Masters prepared instructor. The reason given is that it's only a 35 hour a week position and you get off for spring break and Christmas break. 
Promises of opportunities to get pay raises also make it seem like not such a bad deal. 
The reality is that you are not eligible for an increase in pay until you have been there for three years.
Also in order to get your job done you will put in a minimum of 45 hours a week. The weeks that you put upwards of 50 hours you feel like you're making minimum wage. 
Coworkers are allowed to be rude and nothing is done about it discipline wise. 
Tenured instructors are untouchable. Some teach terribly, but no one would know because no one is allowed to observe them in their classroom. 
Student feedback reflects the fact that they are terrible instructors, but again nothing can be done. 
This is a tragic outcome of tenure rules and union protection. It makes the workplace distasteful and student support poor.

Workdays usually consist of fulfilling tasks given by my employer between the hours of my classes, which in turn helped sharpened as well as refine my organization and clerical skills. Management was lenient and had only my priorities in mind. The workplace culture was colorful, to say the least. There was evidence of closeness between coworkers, including my main employer, which made it more enjoyable to work around. With such a benefactor in the office experience, I was also able to take part in their banter. though it was an enjoyable atmosphere, it still had its challenges. I would say that the hardest part of my job was the commitment to multiple, extended assignments that made up the majority of my time there. But if there was any part that I found most enjoyable in the duration of my stay, it would have to be the environment. A good workspace applies the concept of an enjoyable workplace for the sake of ample work ethic and memorable work experience.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with the students and sharing the love of the topic area I am passionate about.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of interaction with a supporting staff would be the drawback I experienced at the company.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is diverse and carries  it’s challenges at times and the environment is 
 a community college  you have to be proactive to maneuver through to succeed.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Camden County is a commuter 2 year school. I was an adjunct teaching nutrition for the food and sciences department. I taught one course from one day a week to three days a week and summer classes could be  5 2 and 1/2 hour classes over a period of three weeks. I never had typical full days teaching a whole curriculum.

Working at the college is typical - interaction with students, faculty, etc. Where the college fails, is it's lack of direction towards its full and part time employees from the President on down. Their hiring practice is inefficient, often times selecting the person less qualified. I can recall 6 times when this actually happenned. It comes down to a 'who you know' practice. If you know the right person, your hired! Also, the CC freeholders are way too involved and practically run the college. The college is quick to complain about 'decreasing enrollment', Well it does not take a genious to figure out why - its directly connected to top management and the lack of connetion with the student community. Most of the top managers are too old and out of sync/touch with the today student. CCC has potential, but until they change things at the top they will be just another junior college.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part was interacting with the employees and vendors. I had paid sick leave and vacation time, life insurance and pension plan for a part time job requiring me to work 25 hours per week

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Watching people get special treatment because they are politically connected or know someone important, it is very bad in Camden County 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There are a lot of people who really care about their job even though they are paid a low salary, only people in mgmnt make any kind of money 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Greeting clients and employees, calling employees down to the lobby to meet without appointments

This job involves maintenance of laboratory rooms, upkeep of chemical equipment, preparation of chemical experiments and assisting other professors in getting what they need to run their experiments. The hours are flexible; the manager is willing to work with your schedule. The faculty is friendly and dependable; they are not afraid to lend a hand. 
This is a good job for any student going to college, without having to worry about retail or other superfluous requirements. The manager will expect you to learn fast, but will keep your general safety in mind.

Adjunct faculty are expected to develop independent study courses up to 13 weeks without pay until the course ends. Professional Development is scheduled without informing faculty when the location changes. The last check has to be picked up in a parking lot with security with a rough draft of all student assignments and confirmation of grades handed to security. If the check has to be mailed, faculty waits extended periods of time to get their check through work is completed. This is the worst system I have ever experienced for professional academic employees. Advancement is highly political and based on one's ethnic group.

A typical day involves the management of 5 employees, preparing reports, recruitment, student analysis, and administrative duties.

I have learned how to prepare in detail both an annual and expenditure report. 

Management focuses on their agenda instead of enabling departments the ability to help in the overall production of the organization.

The workplace culture is one of high content. 

The hardest part of the job is to manage based on the priority of another's agenda.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the personal impact on student's academic success.

 A typical day at work will consist of me helping students and peers with their class assignments or even helping someone  that comes in to do their financial  aid to or I may be required to sit behind the desk to insert students identification number into the computer data base as the enter into the technology center  as they come in, my coworkers are mostly students as well as myself so it like we all are in the same boat  the hardest part of my job is when we are having complication with the computer and there is something wrong that I can’t grasp the problem and then I would have to call a senior support tech. Over all working here is full of joy

Work included organizing students financial aid applications, assist with online applications, fax paperwork. I learned the steps necessary to complete the financial aid part of college. Management was very helpful and never micro managed me. My coworkers were easy to work with. The hardest part of the job was not being able to help certain students complete applications because of missing information. The best part of the job was seeing the excitement students had when they finished there application and knew they were one step closer to begining college.
