Peralta Community College District

Worst moral I've ever encountered in my 20 years of working.
Good benefits around (contracts under local 39 get all the premiums paid 100% no matter the family size. That's the number one reason along with the pension retirement that people do not leave.  
Pay is low for the field by 30% but its not the lowest in the bay.
Work ethic "don't call me on my sh%T if I don't call your sh$t".  Anyone that threatens this is eventually removed/not cooperated with.   The majority that seem to want to keep this place sub-par and believe that no-one cares.  The college is under investigation by the state for mismanagment of funds (that may not go anywhere).  Secret for sucess is to do your job just a little better than the rest, not care about what others are doing, getting a few people to like you/give a positive recommendation and move on to a better place after you get your experience OR become interwined with the politics and snake your way up until you retire or move on OR stay under the radar until you can retire.
If you need stability AND can afford to live near or commute to the job then this might be great.  If you are young and want more from life keep looking/move on as fast as you can. 
Getting in the tough for many.  Many have to work "part time/temporary" for years before they get a full time job.  This is illigal anywhere but for the government.  Lots of people develop a chip on their shoulder because of that. 

I give one star because staff at HR are mean. They are hiring the language and someone they know or A person to be place for. If you do not speak English, Cantonese or Spanish , you might not the one get hiring. I was a student there and left looking place to work and learn and earn experience. No one like to share information to me. One day a person came to my country and told me. Now, I know why they do not like us. It because we do not speak and our country does not being part their national. We have less people came from our country. Therefore, we get treated different. And I never forget what they told me. “Why should I hire you?” I answer ! I were a student here. I know that they are not nice. I know that they are going to be mean to our people because their manager is poor. They think you are here to give them a promble. If a good school, they should have good management and attitude. Not given other hard time because they were tired to help me. This is usa. Why so many people not able to find a job.

A typical day included lots of assisting people visiting the office, lots of emails to reply to and phone calls. Busy and productive day multitasking and prioritizing tasks and sudden changes. 

I learned the duties of providing/creating employee workers' compensation claims and communicating insurance policies and guidelines to assist the injured employee. I learned to do the duties and tasks of providing Haze Mat claims and disposals of medical waste and dangerous materials. I learned many new tasks. I greet each customer with top rated services and managed to solve their problems in a timely manner.

My co-workers were great in training me and directing me to resources and people to contact. We had employee activities and holiday party.  

I enjoyed ever aspect of the job and it was hard to leave after the temporary assignment ended.

Geat compensation, but talented people end up doing at least two jobs. There are departments that there are extremely understaffed. They are key positions that take over a year to fill. You get offered over time or compensation time, but often to do somebody else job or do work that is not even from your department. You get to work with a great student population, but people often forget the real reason we are working there.

Enrollment keeps falling yet teachers’ unions keep hiring.HR is corrupt + incompetent- keeper of secrets re: “project manager” jobs that award unqualified friends and cronies with raises and/or $100k roles. Unions have negotiated great salaries and benefits which take the majority of the budget leaving little for PR/marketing spending. Board of Directors are controlled by unions, too, so waste is rampant and student issues and competent running of the District is not a priority.

A typical day at work consisted of sitting in a classroom during a regularly scheduled class session & aiding the teacher with organization, teaching, language barriers, presentations, and in class assignments. I learned to be very well rounded and patient through the understanding that not all people learn the same way. Management was very easy to work with and fun to talk to. My co-workers always had fun teaching and nothing was ever to hard for any of us to do.

A typical day at work would be answering phone calls greeting students and staff making copies and faxing and other task as instructed. I learned the value of being a team player and how to pick up extra task to stay ahead. Coworkers were always friendly and very helpful. The most enjoyable part was working with alot of different people learning and acomplishing the job at the end of each work day.

15+ years of experience in analysis, design, development and implementation of Higher Education ERP system and Commercial applications with SQL Server, PeopleSoft 8.9 & 9.0 and Datatel Colleague system will add value to the efficient way of development, support of application software’s with maintaining the technical and user documentation.

I have always been part-time so there is no security (or vacation pay)
and two years ago with the community college budget cuts I lost half of my work load. (That's the hardest part of the job.) I have great co-workers, especially two people over me) who have helped the whole department implement new procedures. I'm a teacher; the most enjoyable part is teaching!
