Kern Community College District

Employees that have worked here for many years are getting axed in order to save money...and new hires come in to replace at half the pay and double the workload. Employees are expected to perform impossible feats at the lowest paid higher educational inst institution in Calif. And they put up with it due to bad job market in area. Employees are constantly expected to work out of job duties and make decisions that management will later scrutinize for..although there is no one else around to decide. Employees live in fear of losing their jobs daily and manageman abuses that fact . Judgemental management that plays favorites. Management takes huge pay increases while letting go hard working faculty and classified who have the direct effect on students. Have no consideration for lives of employees or customers.

I enjoyed working with the board under Chancellor Serrano and the the opportunity to interact with all levels of Administration.  

It was my honor to represent the interests of my fellow students, both gaining insight into student concerns, becoming their voice. I was further able to add value by bringing data from board meetings to students across all KCCD campuses.

I love working for KCCD, it's very independent and self-driven. Course material and instruction is determined by the teacher based on a set of student learning requirements. One negative thing about the job is the fact that it is a junior college, and many of the students do not care about the their attendance or classes. However, there are the handful of students who are there to learn, and those are the students that keep me coming back.

Start out the day with saying hello to everyone. Answer calls and then transfer. Check the mail then take them upstairs and deliver in proper mail slots. Filing was done when necessary. I learned to smile more. Management was great. My coworkers were so nice and always supportive. The hardest part of the job was sometimes getting the wrong kind of people in the halls. The most enjoyable was being able to work at my own pace.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Enjoy meeting new people and learning about Kccd and how things are ran there in the district 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing to stressful just get it done!!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Community orientated and very professional 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Steady busy but very friendly and clean

This is not a regularly scheduled job. You set your own schedule and students will pick who will tutor them based on the available schedules. Supervisors are friendly but strict for your own good as well as the students. Good work is followed with praise from professors and students alike which tends to lead to more work opportunities.

A typical day at work, is taking the $1 gate fee per person. I worked with another person in the booth. I learned that the customers sometimes didn't always accept change of nickels and dimes. My co workers were a pleasure to work with, and made the work day a lot of fun.

I loved being a peer mentor at the counseling center at BC, the environment was great and you really get to make new connections with people. Not only are they extremely flexible because we are students, but they are also our resources to advance in our future careers- both on a resume and in our academic plans!

The Public Safety Department is an excellent place to work. The only negative experience for me was dealing with favoritism within the department. Most decisions were made based on pleasing or convenience towards certain individuals even though the majority agreed on different routes.

It is the best place I have worked at and I have worked at a couple. What makes it better than the rest? The people I work with, my extended family. My father always told me to get a career you love and it won't be a job, how true that is.
