Great coworkers and tuition benefits, but low pay - Administrative Assistant Elgin Community College Employee Review

Working at Elgin Community College was a very rewarding experience. I felt welcomed, valued, and supported from the beginning. The work environment was positive, collaborative, and respectful, and my supervisors consistently encouraged my professional growth. I had the opportunity to work with students and colleagues from many different cultural backgrounds, which helped me develop strong communication and intercultural skills. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the job was the sense of belonging within the team. My coworkers were always willing to help, and I felt that my contributions were appreciated. The international environment also allowed me to build meaningful connections with people from around the world. The experience taught me the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and cultural awareness. I would highly recommend Elgin Community College to anyone seeking a supportive workplace with a strong sense of community.

I honestly do not have any bad reviews for ECC. I genuinely loved my time there.

People care about each other and students deeply The pay is quite good comparative to other higher education jobs Catering for events is really good Mostly I would say the positive is the colleagues you work with

No flexibility whatsoever for remote days or a hybrid schedule. This shouldn't be the case in a post-covid world, it would be easy to give staff a weekly 1-2 remote days or a yearly allotment or remote days. See advice for management for other cons
