Pros: relaxed atmosphere, a lot of down time.
Cons: you will become lazy and spoiled if you work here for too long

Endless Possibilities
Assistant (Former Employee), Rockville, MD – February 15, 2013
Pros: benefits, work-life balance, life-long friendships, engaging students
Cons: complacency, monotony
Great place to work. Employees typically spend decades at MC and ultimately retire from the College. You'll develop life-long friendships. There are plenty of opportunities to grow professionally, gain new skills, take advantage of opportunities outside of your actual position. The environment can breed complacency as there is very low turnover. Most – more... staff positions work 8-5 consistently. Work-life balance is fantastic. They have the best benefits -- from health plans to free classes and everything in between. The hardest part of the job can be monotony from time to time. The best part of the job aside from helping students achieve their dreams is low stress, predictability and flexibility. – less

Assisted with registering new and returning students for continueing education courses. Provided excellent receptionist skills.

The hardest part of the job – more... was leaving to relocate to another state. The most enjoyable part of my job was registration. – less

Not a wise choice!
NA (Former Employee), Rockville, Germantown, MD – November 3, 2012
Pros: good pay
Cons: bullying administrators, faculties employed on connections rather than merit
This college offers good pay and benefits and fine quality of instructions. But you have to put up with a culture of violent students, bullying managers/administrators, and majority of faculties who are not employed because of their merits but connections.

an ordinary class day in grammar
Spanish Professor (Former Employee), Rockville, MD – August 21, 2012
Pros: room and time alloted is enough. video and recordings are available
class starts with news of the day in Spanish taken from websites,locaLS and newspapers.
we review the past lessons,reading poetry or a song in Spanish.
The lesson proper is treated like a lecture discussion and giving pivotal questions to find out about their attention and comprehension of the lesson. Then we listen and observe a video of a typical – more... spanish speaking community in Honduras about a daily conversation about a Fiesta celebration.
Students will answer questions about the video and make their own resolutions and conclusions. Sometimes,assignments are given and sometimes they are not. The conversation among themselves about the video is one of the ways to assess their spoken versatility of the language. – less

Administrative Aide II (Former Employee), Germantown Campus, Germantown, MD – May 3, 2012
Pros: good health benefits, good wellness programs, good working conditions
Cons: retirement benefits not good, employees contribute all of the money
Co-workers were great
Management is not well suited at times to supervise support personnel especially when it comes to diversity
the job was not hard
working with the diverse student population and seeing them graduate
there are no typical work days. There is always something new that comes up
I learned that working in education/academia is no different – more... than working in private industry. There are good points and bad points – less
