Absolutely loved working for Columbuissues with State as a whole
Office Associate (Former Employee), Columbus, Ohio – January 11, 2013
Pros: the smiles on the childrens faces every single day made every day a good day
Cons: poor management from the director, and lots of germs from the kids.
however my position was not the greatest. The Director does not know how to properly run a childcare center and that put a lot of strain of the Asst Managers make up for this. Lots of back work required and that created a lot of control issues for the Director.

Pros: freedom to teach in your own style
I really enjoy being in the classroom with students with very diverse backgrounds. The experience and conversations that bring to the class is just as much a learning experience for me as it is for them.

Good place to hone teaching & lecturing skills
Instructor, Adjunct (Former Employee), Columbus, OH – August 23, 2012
Pros: lots of time off -- too bad it's unpaid.
Cons: noted in the review
For academics: zero benefits; minimal job security; not really any potential for advancement. The number of adjuncts is very large, as is the adjunct-to-perm./full-time ratio disproportionate. Adjunct turnover rate is, understandably, extremely high -- and it is anticipated to be so in order to keep a large labor pool of highly educated, fresh, and – more... above all cheap instructors available and hungry for work.

However; as Community Colleges go.... this one is reportedly better than many others. And, my particular supervisor was gracious. – less

Innovative and open environment for learning and developing
Professor/Teacher (Current Employee), Columbus, OH – July 9, 2012
Pros: advancement opportunity, professional development, technology, faculty and staff, and tutoring for students
Cons: adjuncts do not get benefits or bonuses
CSCC stays ahead of the game when it comes to technology, learning, and teaching. They have several workshops for teacher's professional development which assist the teacher's ability to be more productive in the classroom. There are ways for students to become involved and for students to get the most of of their education, including tutoring services. – more... The faculty and staff are friendly and professional. I have enjoyed working there, I have gained a wealth of knowledge, and I have been able to get involved with many communities.

The hardest part of the job is being an adjunct. It is not easy not having benefits nor having the ability to get discounted rates for insurance. We do not get the bonuses that staff are able to get, but the pay rate is fair and pays the bills. Although, there is the possiblity for advancement to full time work. With the Ohio requirement that a M.A. be in the subject area and not in my area of Education, it is not a quick option for me. Currently, I am planning to return to school, but that has to be worked into the budget.

Overall, Columbus State is a great place to work! – less

Good environment, great pay, somewhat disorganized...
Program Specialist (Former Employee), Columbus, OH – March 22, 2012
Pros: flexability, great pay, great benifits
Cons: a number of short term positions
CSCC is a wonderful place to work. They really seem to care about their employees and they pay well. There is a lack of job security in the Non-credit, Transitional workforce area.
