Overworked and under paid. CCC District Office has no respect and care for Part Time workers in union 1708. 1708 PT Union is the bottom of the list. Job family 443 is the worse catagory to be in. There is no benefits . Check out local 1708 FCCTP on Facebook and twitter. ccc.edu human resources page read 1708 contract. It's horrible. Can't spend time – more... with family , no vacation benefits . If am sick or immediate family is sick , can't take off to go to doctor, I will lose a day of pay , no paid sick day. No holiday pay or overtime pay or comp time. I have to work my schedule hours and leave. If campus is closed for holidays , I have to work 9-10 hrs to make up my hours for that week so my check will not be short.

My first week on the job my computer, phone was not setup. I wasn't in the system, so I couldn't get an employee ID or Parking placard. I didn't have a key to my office nor women's staff restroom. It took 3 weeks before these task were completed .

Full Time Workers are treated like royalty and Part Timers are on the Back Burner.

On a typical day Adjuncts arrive at minimum thirty minutes early to prep class and prepare for any difficulties or e-mails that need attention. Working for City Colleges of Chicago taught me the importance of organization an reliabilty on the part of the instructors as well as the office managers and staff. It was a pleasure learning new methods of – more... instruction as well as sharing what worked for me, with my co-workers. The most difficult part of the job was aiding students in balancing their personal priorities with school. The most enjoyable part of the job was student and management feedback. It's always important to reflect on your strengths and weaknesses as it concerns developing curriculum and personal goals toward success. – less

The Mayor Daley Summer Youth Program was fun while it being an experience.My typical day would start at 8:00am by gathering inside the classroom to discuss the work assignments for the day/week,and my day would end at 4:00pm.

I learned the true meaning of interpersonal & communication skills,and I learned how to operate the power washer which was very – more... cool,while learning the fundamentals of painting because there's always room to learn something new,even if it's the most basic thing.

Management was honestly ok.

My co-workers were actually my classmates,and that in itself was quite the experience,only because I got the opportunity to see the serious ''worker'' in them.The best part is that we learned from one another,as well as helped one another regardless of race or who disliked someone because at the end of the day,we're a TEAM.

The hardest part of the job was getting a specific assignment done in a timely manner without allowing anything else to coincede with what we were working on.

The most enjoyable part of the job was having fun while working.On top of that,since it was a job I love doing,I absolutely enjoyed each and everyday. – less

Stressful, lack of instructors. I learned in more details on how to be more proficent in teaching. Management need much more improvement. I have become very confortable in self-pilot along with my co-workers. The most difficult part of my job, is lack of instructors/ students ratio. The most enjoyable part is the success when students receive their – more... CDL license. – less

Had a great opportunity for public college education as an adjunct faculty. Fun and interesting work.

I was very excited about my employment at CCC when I first started. However, I was stuck in the same position 5 years later even after achieving a graduate degree and networking. It appears as if only management have opportunities for advancement.

A day starts with a brief meeting of what needs to get done for the day. Next will be what students are doing in who's classes. Make sure we have all testing material so that we do not do stutent's test. Students will try to be slick and bring the test into the math lab . The hardest part was only when we were short staffed and I would just as the Adjuns – more... ( part time Professors) to assist in the lab in-between classes. The most enjoyable part was watching a student get something I was assisting them with.. – less

Working for city colleges is basically a waist of time, there is plenty of work but little work ethic.

Assisting students and faculty within an education setting. Worked well with my team and developed friendships. The only hard part is when we were swamped with request for the same time period. But definitely enjoy the challenge of getting the work done.

If you work for the City Colleges of Chicago, you can not have another job. You can earn seniority, but not job security. With the time you can earn a good salary. That good salary can be mess up if your manager don't give you a position for the following module.

I start my day at 7:00 a.m. My day starts with gathering information and worksheets to help meet my student’s educational goals for the day. After visiting several educational web-sites I take my worksheets to the copy center and get my copies. I am done around 8:00 a.m. then I go into my classroom and prepare my board. At about 9:00 a.m. my students – more... start to arrive. The student that arrive to class first put the date and their name on the board (later they receive reward for their effort). Then we would start the day with an ice breaker (something fun to get them out of their seats and promote collaboration). This would take about 10 min. of the class time. Then we would go over the homework and students would participate by putting answers on the board. I would start my lecture and provide feedback on any questions they may have. Then I would go over worksheet objectives and students would break into groups to work on assignments. Homework would then be given out any incomplete class work would be taken home. Each class was about one hour and 50 min. I worked with literacy students therefore my class was self-contained I taught all subjects. – less

I really enjoyed teaching the military students at the AFB; they were well mannered, conscientious, disciplined, and eager to learn. I enjoyed interacting with them in class, and I enjoyed lecturing and dscussions.

The hardest part of the job was the low salary; only $100.00 per student, and most classes had only six students. Also, the co-workers – more... were very pleasant.

I learned that these students were ideal. – less

A typical work day consists of cleaning and maintaning a safe work enviroment. I have learned how to shampoo carpets,strip and wax floors, also the use of different tools and cleaning machines. Management is knowledgeable of proper rules and regulations as well as proper way to complete daily tasks. My co-workers are really wonderful to work with. The – more... hardest part of the job is not being able to satisfy everyone but we try. The most enjoyable part of the job is the students. – less

Great hours to work around my own course work. The staff was very friendly.
