Pros

There is so much potential to make a difference and be a part of a positive community,. Santa Rosa Community College has great possibility to be a wonderful resource for the student population as well as the community.

Cons

When you are "in" your are a part of a team and when you are part of the"in" you are definitely not feeling party to the obvious difference as the "out". The facility is wrought with possiblity but try to get a decent shot at a job w/out the inside connection. Do not step in the ring unless you are tight with someone who can protect you from the inevitable nics and scratches you will receive as the newbie. There are so many pockets being padded here, fluff and waste particularly in the tenured staff and faculty, the who is sleeping with who crowd. It is a hideous waste of resources. Once you are"in" who is gonna touch you, it is a carpet ride to the end. Sad no real evaluations are done w/ re: to either the faculty or the staff.

Pros

Many motivated students and instructors; supportive staff; good reputation; sense of camaraderie in good budget years; good support for daytime students/staff/instructors; variety of transfer, vocational, and enrichment programs and classes; beautiful campus; nearly adequate parking (only $120/year).

Cons

Too many buildings without enough staff; old boy network seems pervasive; untested, underprepared students; burned out staff from big overloads/large classes/lack of instructional and clerical support; lack of services and support for evening and weekend programs; focus shift during last 10 years or so to FTES rather than quality education; too many "managers" adding to existing bureaucracy; tendency to worship technology rather than knowledge/critical thinking; frequent failure to hire from within; increasing marginalization of part-time workers.

Terrible Employee treatment

Pros

The college is severely behind the times - so the work is outdate yet simple.

Cons

SRJC has a very toxic, anti-staff environment - especially from management and upper level administration. Nepotism reigns for promotion opportunities, and many hiring practices skirt the law.
