I love GMU and would love to have a career there until the end of my life, but there is no path for an adjuncts to become full-time. The managers are super supportive of academic pursuits and the students are interesting.
However, the hardest part is never knowing if you will have hours and always living in fear of someone with more seniority getting the hours available. A typical day is filled with grading, planning, research, and teaching. Parking is challenging but that is the case most places.

There aren't many opportunities for networking so adjuncting is a lonely job. A typical work day consists of helping customers who can be students, faculty, staff, potential students, parents and members of the community to navigate the campus and offices of George Mason. Much of the time can be spent doing homework during down times but consists of working together with your fellow team members to ensure everyone has a happy and easy going experience at Mason. The management can vary depending on the supervisor you work for. The workplace environment is friendly and the best part of the job is it allows students to work around their class schedules easily.
