Adjunct Professor Reviews
What is it like working as an Adjunct Professor?
August 2019
I just started orientation for the faculty adjunct position though I had a fellowship.
Adjunct Professor in Philadelphia:
Pros: The supervisor appears to micromanage adjuncts including mandatory all day workshops without compensation or meals.
Cons: Nothing so far. Campus parking rates are expensive.
August 2019
Good luck progressing.
Adjunct Professor in Fresno:
Pros: The interaction with students is what keeps me there.
Cons: Faculty and Support staff
May 2019
Autonomy comes with a price.
Adjunct Professor in Stamford:
Pros: With autonomy there is room for creativity and control; however, if you are new to the institution or new to the profession you have to actively seek help and ask for resources such as desk copies of books or whiteboard markers. NB: not all departments function this way.
Cons: If you are new to the institution or new to the profession there is little in the way of help to acclimate to the job, i.e. mentoring is nonexistent. Resources often must be purchased out-of-pocket. NB: not all departments function this way

Very fulfilling.
Adjunct Professor in San Jose:

February 2019
Adjunct Professor:
Love the job. Love the environment. Love the coworkers. Love the students. Everything is wonderful there except they do not pay adjuncts well and they do not have a way - it appears - to ever give them a raise.
January 2019
Disposable Adjunct.
Adjunct Professor in Vancouver:
