Downers
College students are sometimes not focused on their studies and
are sometimes disruptive and disrespectful to faculty, as well as
expecting grades to be assigned to them if they have what they
consider a 'valid excuse' for not oding the work or attending
classes. Schools owned by for-profit entities do not tend to
invest in or try to retain staff, adopt attitudes that 'someone
will be available who needs the money.'
|
Lifestyle
Dress code is casual. there is no travel unless one teaches on branch campuses
around the City. Most duties are completed in a four day work week, monthly
Friday work days. Seven weeks off during the calendar year (paid pro rata base
pay during weeks off).

Advice to Jobseekers
Try to have more than one employer, as salary growth is little to
none. Do not try to make a living from a career at one employer
of this type.
