WEST VIRGINIA JUNIOR COLLEGE

What is the best part of working at the company?
The supportive team environment creates a family-like culture where everyone is willing to help and uplift one another. The work is incredibly meaningful, as we play a role in changing students’ lives every day. Having experienced other workplaces, I can genuinely say that our campus leadership is among the best. They are supportive, dedicated, and truly invested in both staff and student success.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
As an online institution, you are interacting with students around the clock. The work environment can be very fast-paced, which at times may feel demanding, especially during peak periods. Additionally, the lack of health benefits is an area that could be improved to better support employee well-being

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is collaborative, supportive, and fast-paced, where teamwork and open communication are highly valued. The culture fosters mutual respect, shared goals, and a strong commitment to both employee growth and student success

I am a current employee at West Virginia Junior College and I love coming to work every single day. I have worked at other institutions where the management does not care about their employees but the administration as well as the staff/faculty go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. 

West Virginia Junior College really cares about their students which sets them apart from other institutions. I have personally seen faculty stay and work with students who are struggling, I have witnessed the CMD personally walk students to job interviews, and I have witnessed an atmosphere where the goal is for the students to succeed not only in school but in life and their careers.

West Virginia Junior College is a wonderful place to work and I'm glad to call them my family. If you are looking for a small, family type atmosphere where you can make a difference, WVJC is the place for you!

I really loved the process of preparing to teach, teaching, the interactions with most students and staff.  The most enjoyable part of the job was witnessing students learning about themselves and one another, as well as the material.  Workplace culture was primarily good.  However, the view of students as consumers, which is a predominant philosophy in many businesses, can be a negative thing in some cases.  No one can please everyone, and sometimes one or two students out of a larger group such as 30 or more can create unfounded difficulties for the teacher and all other students.  It's a shame for a great teacher with a great love of the material and students to be castigated due to the minority opinion of such few.

What is the best part of working at the company?
During interviewing, everyone was very nice. Work environment seemed OK. This was my first salary position post-grad. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The disorganization was the most stressful part. On my first day, I was informed that the financial aid department only had a couple of employees. When I was hired with 2 others, they practically doubled the financial aid department. It seemed as though they did not quite know how to train, and everything was extremely disorganized. The reason I left was because I was not informed in the interview process that I would essentially be making debt collection calls daily. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There are four departments in one suite. Everyone seemed nice enough

Working in the Financial Aid Office was a rewarding experience. The role provided an opportunity to help students navigate the financial aid process and make higher education more accessible. The team was supportive, collaborative, and always willing to help one another during busy periods.

Management communicated expectations clearly and encouraged professional development. I gained valuable experience in customer service, problem-solving, data management, and federal financial aid regulations. The work could be fast-paced during peak enrollment and aid-disbursement periods, but it was fulfilling to know that my efforts directly supported students' educational goals.

As an adjunct, WVJC is a good place for a second job.  The leadership is very friendly and accommodating.    Students are pretty good and they seem glad to attend.  I get schedule flexibility to teach around my primary employer. Full time employees get a family vibe and flexibility. Small classes make the teaching even more pleasant. This is a career oriented school catering to non-traditional students. This is not the right fit for someone who cannot adjust to non-traditional students.

• The turnover rate is ridiculous.
• They do not have a consistent staff.
• Most positions do not offer benefits.
• Low Pay
• Do not do what they promise for their students. They promise each student that they will assist them with job placement after graduation. If they do help you, it's typically something in fast food which is ridiculous. You wouldn't go to college only to work for minimum wage at McDonalds. 
• The interview process is awful to say the least. They hold group interviews where you will be in a rather small room with 40-50 people or more, who are all there competing for the job. This is also before they even look at anyone's resume or qualifications. These group interviews usually take about two hours of your time and are scheduled for the evenings around 4 or 5.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Students and Co-workers.  Students were eager to get started and most were easy to deal with.  Co-workers helpful on site.  Less helpful with remote work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Direct Supervisor not attentive to team members questions. Short on patience.
Not told about errors made and given the opportunity to correct yourself.


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nice in person, but a lot of hidden agendas. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
9-5 with additional hours as needed to finish day's work.  Two  days of evening shifts.

WVJC has been one of the best places I have worked. We have an excellent team that collaborates well and consistently steps in to support one another when needed. Leadership at our campus is exceptional, and I am able to maintain a healthy work–life balance while meeting the needs of my family and working full-time. The most challenging aspect of the role has been the rapid growth; although positive, it has required us to learn new systems and processes, which can feel overwhelming at times. The greatest benefit of this position is the flexibility, which is invaluable as a working mother.

Transitioning to a full-time position at WVJC has been wonderful. I am able to have the work/life balance I desire as a working mom. The team in the nursing department is amazing to work with. In addition, the overall campus leadership is very supportive of its employees. I have received more recognition in my short time at this organization than I have at any other workplace. Finally, I love the ability to help individuals in our local community grow as professionals.
