Email leadership
Business Faculty (Former Employee), virtual –
Pros: work from home

Great concept to work from home, great for work/life balance, but the problem lies with virtual team management. Leadership by email is the biggest issue.

One Course Mentor Speaks Up
Course Mentor (Current Employee), Remote –
Pros: opportunity to try new things, sharing my love of my subject, working with students individually, team projects with a great group of professionals, being heard by upper management.
Cons: if you don't structure your schedule, working from home be hard, when i am "off, " i unplug my phone and don't check email, it helps keep me happy, and within my 40-45 hours per week
I LOVE my job at WGU! I get the opportunity to primarily focus on working one-on-one with students, which helps to develop relationships and further that student's passion for learning. The pay is more than I could get teaching at a traditional university, I have excellent benefits, retirement, and a large professional development budget.

Fits into a busy life
Adjunct Faculty Evaluator (Current Employee) –
There is a lot of support, but they also allow you the freedom to work your own hours that work for you. The training continues, so you don't feel the isolation like many other online positions.
