Southeast Community College

Working within a division of Southeast Community College, the direct supervisor is the type of manager that observes and creates opportunities for growth, as well as discusses your development as an instructor. Southeast Community College student body is diversified, reflecting a slice of our Lincoln community and our world. Such a work environment presents myriad instances for personal development between co workers, students and teachers, and staff. As a first experience working in the college level of teaching, all educators experience new situations with a bit of anxiety and excitement. That alone could be considered 'hard' and yet it is through those challenges that everyone in the school learning community exchange ideas that nurture our open, accepting college setting making the unfolding of known and unknown learning 'enjoyable' and satisfying. Of course any experience is what you, as an individual, make of the situations you encounter randomly as we work towards the common goal of education, both scholastically and inter-personally

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with students who are looking towards the future is incredibly rewarding.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is no accountability. If you are good at your job, you end up taking on the work of people who are not, and there are no consequences for people who do not know how to do their jobs or do them wrong.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There are amazing people who work here who want to help students. However, there are many that lack compassion and do not attempt to understand the stresses that students feel. Higher ups do not consider how implementing decisions will impact the staff who are already stretched thin.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No day is the same. However, unless you are faculty or on the Lincoln campus, you are expected to be on campus 40 hours a week.

Come to work have to unlock the doors for the faculty and students,when something goes wrong you have to fix it and try to keep maintenance up keep on everything that needs it so the place runs smoothly! I have learned a lot because you encounter so many different types of things like putting a desk together to welding a piece to the lawn mower,picking up trash etc etc!! Very good management easy to talk to and to get along with! Excellent to work around all of them are! Working out when it is really hot or when it is really cold! Working around everybody and the fact that you arent doing the same thing every day!

I love to teach and help others. Typical day is lecture, lab or clinical, with one desk day per week which leaves little time for curriculum development, grading of student paperwork, or being creative. I learned a lot about multi tasking and took a lot of paperwork home to grade. Management has been changing which can create a culture of fear and intimidation at times. Hardest part of the job is never feeling like I get done with what is needed which leads to taking paperwork home. Additionally the population of students now have a sense of entitlement which is difficult at time.  Most enjoyable part is seeing the students succeed and reach their goals.

A typical day at work will be taking care of greenhouse by watering, pruning and fertilizing the potted plants. I had to responsibly to make sure that the plants were well taken care throughout the year before the annual sale happens. I have learned the basic skills from making sure when the plants needed water or if it missing some type of nutrient as phosphorus. My co-workers were fun to work with, we made sure we did the job properly and also made it a fun place to work. The hardest  part of the job was weeding. Since i was employee working for the school, I had the opportunity to drive many school properties such as: tractors, combine, golf carts, mowers and forklift.

SCC Milford EL and EM programs are very demanding. We had constant study groups in order to achieve the grades required to finish on time. I was a tutor for electrical principals DC/AC and then PLC's. I really started succeeding when I helped others and reinforced my knowledge through explanation. I found by constantly utilizing the skills a had gained in class, I was able to retain the massive amount of material presented in class. It was nice to stay true to my education and get paid at the same time. I have no doubt that this experience positively impacted my carrier and helped my classmates.

Very toxic people in lower and middle management make SCC a challenging environment in which to work. Department Chairs are given too much authority to demean and bully instructors and Deans/Associate Deans look for faults rather than promoting strengths. When well-documented abuse is taken to senior management, it is "looked into" but no actions are taken. Instructors with excellent student and peer reviews receive negative supervisory reviews and given toxic feedback with goals that are unclear and impossible to reach. SCC has potential to be an excellent workplace if abusive management is dealt with appropriately.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Interaction with my students, especially encouraging the first generation and non-tradional ones.

Professional and supportive of my teaching and the students.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

A typical day at work was engaging and productive, with clear tasks and supportive teamwork. I gained valuable skills in communication, problem-solving, and project management, which have enhanced my professional development. The management team was approachable, encouraging growth and open communication. The workplace culture was positive, fostering collaboration and respect among all team members. The hardest part of the job was handling high-pressure deadlines, but this also pushed me to excel and improve. The most enjoyable part was seeing the impact of our efforts, knowing our work made a difference."
