Northeast Mississippi Community College Reviews

Professional Bullying at its finest. Gaslighting is the main tactic, along with unfair pay, nepotism, and political hires and favors. I have witnessed on multiple occasions the misappropriation of funds and overcharging of fees in student tuition. There are many teachers at the institution who are unhappy with leadership but will not come forward for fear of retaliation from administrators. This once highly regarded institution has slipped in the opinions of the local and surrounding community, due to poor leadership from the President of the college and across the board, he often uses the same canned speeches at ceremonies, it is very noticeable to that fact he does not mean what he is saying, and evident no passion for the school, students, faculty, or programs, in which he is the head leadership. One of the vice presidents of the school even took the time to hide the fact that many of the faculty working there do not even hold the required minimums from state and federal accreditation boards to being even instructing in the classroom setting. They knowingly covered up and hid this information during the SACS visit in 2020/2021. I have witnessed changing of grades for students whose families had an influence on multiple occasions, which the school was sued by a faculty member in the 1990s for this very thing and the bullying and gaslighting during that time. Unless you are related to some individuals or you have a connection with athletics, especially basketball, you are considered insignificant. If you get an opportunity to work for them.....RUN!!!! I have a master's but was NOT paid masters pay, received the minutes from an executive meeting where they granted others with "masters experience" masters pay, and when I approached the VP of Student Acedmics I was told that was NOT for me, but for them. I had to get another degree on top of that for the school, its HR and a little lobbying to get paid fairly. They also shorted me by approximately 30k in pay by ignoring the critical needs area and funding from the legislature for the need for nursing instructors. I was never compensated. Currently, their nursing programs are on a plan for improvement, 2 years after I and others have left the school, their pass rates for the NCLEX are in the toilet as well. To my knowledge, the faculty and staff have not received any raises in years (2008?), but the top administrators have gotten approximately 3k every year since they took the lead at the institution, instead, they offer the faculty and staff scraps from the table, (a free day off), but get cranky if you take it. Very much an old-school factory management mentality. I had one supervisor even tell me that losing a child was no different from bankruptcy or divorce.

No cons to speak of.
