Pros

Flexibility - very flexible timeframes for working, essentially set your own hours as an adjunct Remote - can work from anywhere in the U.S.

Cons

Pay - deplorable. Seriously, you are better off in fast food or something similar. Administrators - Awful communication, do not care about your input or opinions. Don't let them fool you with that biannual survey - no changes come from it. If you bring up a valid concern or item for change, you are shushed and told to evaluate if this is the job for you because 'that's the way it is.' Job tasks/expectations - Over-the-top considering the pay. To actually accomplish everything they ask of you and do it well, you will be working for less than minimum wage. Quality/Standards - Students are allowed to redo assignments and quizzes until they obtain the grade they want. I'm not taking a stance on whether this is good or bad, I'm just putting it out there (and there's no "neutral" category to list this under.) Advancement Opportunities - Zero for adjuncts. None.
