Tulsa Community College

My time as an Academic Adviser at Tulsa Community College was a rewarding career that was educational and challenging. In this review, I will focus on what a typical day is like, what I learned, and the hardest and easiest part of the job.

As a part time adviser, my day began late at the institution and I had a limited amount of hours to work. The staff was really helpful in planning schedules that would allow for maximizing of this time throughout the semester. I would log into the computer and begin to see students as they would come into the waiting area. I would identify their concern and then work toward finding the fastest solution to their query. This would include a knowledge of the system, connecting them with faculty and staff, financial aid concerns and academic rehabilitation.

I was responsible for maintaining the policies of the institution and helping the student to find the best solution. I would say that the hardest part of the job was walking this fine line between the two. I had to have great research skills so that I was not only keeping with the policies of our institutions but the many state colleges that the student had a track with as well.

I felt that the management, co-workers and support staff were very helpful in creating a pleasant work environment. I enjoyed showing up to work every day and made some great friendships.

I believe that this job strengthened my love of being employed at educational institutions and gave me valuable experience that I will cherish forever. Go apply here now!

At one time, TCC was a place employees were proud to work at and jobs at TCC were very competitive to get. Since the current president took over, the atmosphere and culture of TCC have become increasingly worse each year that she is in charge. The feeling like we are one big TCC family is now non-existent and employees can't leave fast enough. This feeling began well before the Covid-19 pandemic started.

The president's priority is about making herself look good to the Board of Regents and TCC's community partners. Communication at TCC stops at the very top level and the leadership style is very much top-down with no explanation or feedback when jobs are cut, people are laid off, salaries are reduced, or departments are restructured. The president gets a new idea and decides it should be implemented then will think of another idea that needs launched and forget about the previous initiatives thus leaving TCC looking like they never actually complete any projects or student initiatives and staff feeling completely lost because they never actually know what is happening within the college. 

TCC started out as a fun place to work for under the administration of the first president and vice president of business.  They were two guys who really cared about their employees and followed state regulations.  After they retired we had two presidents that only cared about themselves and how many buildings they could build. The current president and upper administration are the worst one's that I  worked under.  Management in the office and upper administration weren't supportive.  The most enjoyable part of the job was working alongside my coworkers and interacting and learning from them.  They made work worth coming to every day before I retired.  Tulsa Community College has some of the best and loyal employees.  They work very hard and are really under appreciated by upper administration,

I worked here for nearly four years. I truly enjoyed the job and my co workers, I felt that this job provided a sense of purpose and I was proud of what I had done after each day of work. Then covid hit, and they cut hundreds of employees many of which had been there decades. And the worse part is that they lied about it, telling everyone it would not come to lay offs, then one week before I and many others were supposed to return to work after many months of being on adminstrative leave they broke the news that they were letting me go. I could of spent that entire time on leave searching for another job not waiting around to return to work. Absolutely disgusting. The top brass of this institution are just a bunch of hippocrates who do not practice what they preach.

Tulsa Community College is the largest community college in Oklahoma.  I started working for TCC six years ago. I teach Spanish and GED classes in the continuing adult education and enrichment department. Students come from all walks of life to earn reading, listening, writing, and speaking Spanish skills. I teach Conversational Spanish classes These classes are hands on experience, and these are based on the functionality of Spanish phrases. At the end of the class students are able to community in any form of Spanish, this improve their chances to provide services for Spanish clients and continue developing their business and private practices.

The mission of Tulsa Community College is highly valued by most fulltime employees, and many part-time employees. HR, for the most part, is understanding of work-life responsibilities vs. real-life responsibilities. In other words, people have "real" life responsibilities outside of work life responsibilities and that sometimes, the two conflict.

 TCC gives enormous opportunity for qualified people to progress in their careers. In my view, it is a wonderful place to work.

One of the best working experiences of my life. Improvement oriented management and training, such that all employees become better at their duties.  Changing goals of the college alter jobs, keeping them new and fresh.  Department and college wide events offered to all staff.

As a student oriented business, all tasks boil down to helping TCC students accomplish their goals.  This places demands on Librarians and staff, such that working directly with the student body requires a calm service oriented demeanor.  For those working in technical support, interaction with the Academic body needs to be swift.

I enjoyed working here. I felt that I was doing meaningful work at TCC in helping prospective students navigate going to college often for the first time or as first in their family receive higher education. TCC has many great programs and supports for students so it was fun helping new students learn about that. TCC has a fantastic culture and management is helpful and caring. I liked all of my peers and leaders there. The only thing that I think should be changed is the pay structure, the pay is not competitive. I would go back to work there but the position I'm qualified for pays more than $20,000 less than any other listing for a similar position in the area.

I spent 11 years working for the company and I ran into countless occurrences of bad managers, unqualified employees, and bad salary. I went through 6 managers in 5 years which should be enough to show the low quality work environment in the IT department. You will be paired with individuals who are unqualified for their position but make more money than you because of the states system of only giving yearly raises across the board. You will have to stay for 15 -20 years to make any headway with your salary. You will not be rewarded for excelling and actually might be isolated if you are successful due to managers not being experienced and not wanting anyone to outshine them.

Working as an editor at Tulsa Community College (TCC) has been an enriching and rewarding experience. The institution offers a supportive and collaborative work environment, making it a great place for professionals in the editing field to thrive.

One of the standout aspects of TCC is its commitment to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. As an editor, I had the opportunity to work with a wide range of staff, faculty, and students, contributing to a dynamic and creative environment. The college is dedicated to ensuring that content is clear, accessible, and reflects the values of the community, which made my work feel both purposeful and impactful.
