Toxic work environment

Pros

The campus is peaceful and pretty. It has a high school campus feel, but not in a bad way. It is small and near the interstate.

Cons

The staff are back-stabbing, conniving, and rude. They lie and plot against each other, gossip, and generally don't get along. It was an extremely stressful place to work with no support from management or personnel. Complaints about colleagues get used against you. And they will fire you without any good reason, or they will concoct a reason/force you into insanity.

Pros

The college has many good faculty and reasonable quality in basic education. The mission of the college is an important one and you have the chance to really change the lives of students. Benefits are adequate,

Cons

People who are not from the region are not well treated. The leadership of the college encourages a blame culture resulting in an atmosphere of distrust and divisiveness. The college is kept in chaos due to poor leadership, lack of understanding of their environment, and a failure to foster a supportive and positive climate. The employment laws in South Carolina are not friendly to workers, and neither is Tri-County. Senior leadership seem to struggle. If you have other choices, you should seriously consider them.

Terrible "Culture"

Pros

Flexible schedule. Ok education for those who cannot afford or get into a good college.

Cons

Upper management treats college as a corporation. lower management is incompetent and toxic. diversity is not valued. People with vision and valuable skill sets are leaving or being fired to keep unsophisticated morons in their positions The "Transformative Student Experience" is a feeble attempt at culture change that is unoriginal and has little to nothing to do with the student. A culture of "yes men." A member of administration steals ideas and work from others to use in his dissertation. An "Us vs Them" mentality from the administration. The Marketing Department is quite possibly misappropriating state funds. "Death by Committee" is the rule of law. No advancement, management plays favorites.
