Coming up on 6 years at CCBC

[dreamaastrid]

Still love working here and yes this is so much better than any corporate gig or consulting job I ever had before coming here. And yes it was worth a $20,000 pay cut as it more than made up for it in benefits especially medical coverage and pension.

And this is an article from years ago that is still applicable:

and yes for me this job has been so much more wonderful than any other place I ever worked especially the time off:
4-weeks vacation a year plus a week for Spring Break and for Winter Break - YEAH!!

Additional Perks:

1. Tuition-free classes for employees: Completed an Associates of Applied Science in Accounting (graduated Summa Cum Laude) and I'll receive tuition discounts for dependents when my kid attends college

4. Theatre Productions: Great College and Community Theatre shows for which I can purchase discounted tickets
