Contra Costa Community College District

A typical shift begins with a quick briefing what happened within the last shift. My shift would be from 1730 hrs to 2230 hrs. The majority of the shift consist of foot patrolling the college campus answering questions from students about citation and or giving directions to locations around campus. Working the night shift we were responsible for taking down the flag at dusk, responding to an occasional emergencies with officers, citing vehicles in violation, providing escorts to officials and most importantly locking down to school every night. I have learned a lot working as a police aide. I enjoy working here but the management could be far better.

I love my work and staff members but management leaves much to be desired.

Here I have learned to just do my job and not to offer any recommendations, management is not interested.  My co-workers are great and I enjoy working with them.  There is no overtime here, which is nice but when one is overloaded and still expected to get the work done in 8 hours it is stressful and breaks are omitted to keep your job.

The hardest part of the job is just trying to survive each day.

As a product of the community college system, the opportunity to serve students is the most appealing part of the job. The culture of blaming others rather than taking responsibility or initiative makes it a difficult place to get excited to work. There is high turnover in important leadership positions which leads to frequent changing of priorities.

Work is not the problem, I have enough to do and I like the people I work with but management is not healthy or supportive.  I work in the payroll department and it is very fast paced, we process 5 payrolls a month.  The good think is there is no overtime and we get 2 weeks off at Christmas time.

I enjoy working with the people in my department, we truly are a team.  Management is not supportive and they make the environment unhealthy and there the job becomes unbearable.

management treats classified staff unfairly, no room for advancement, especially for those of color, many departments do not want to work with diversity and so limit the amount of time “minorities” can work with them even if they are great workers, and a lot of times some of us work many hours we do not get paid or recognized for.

This was a opportunity to learn and grow as a technician and a person. I was given the opportunity to learn at my own pace and be included in projects that were priority enough to learn how to work under pressure and with restrictions.

I worked for the Contra Costa Community College District while I was a student. It was my very first job and a great first experience. The person who managed me was very kind, helpful, and understand. It paid minimum wage but I guess that's reasonable for a full-time student straight out of high school.

I worked here previously as a student worker, and came back as a part time worker in the same office (Financial Aid). I always got along with everyone super well, and I always enjoyed everyone I interacted with in this community. It could get slow at times, but nonetheless I enjoyed working here a lot.

I never regretted it. My typical workday started at about 8am and ended at 430pm. I was an intern for the office for a whole semester. During the internship I was able to build new skills and better the old ones. There was something new to learn everyday

A typical day at work is dealing with staff and different problems that arise during installation of new software or transferring of information from the Department of Education
