Pierpont and TCB both have a page with this info:
CLEP (College Level Examination Program) - Pierpont Community and Technical College - Acalog ACMS
Pierpont Community & Technical College - CLEP College Credit Policy (collegeboard.org)
Also, do you know about taking CLEP for free through Modern States?
Freshman Year Free - Modern States

There's really no downside, so whether or not there's a benefit with any given employer is largely irrelevant. For most jobs, the requirement is either HS diploma or bachelor's degree, but there are definitely instances where an associate's degree can help. In that case, it is more often than not just checking a box, so any degree is better than no degree. However, if you're going to spend time and money anywhere else, maybe go for a bachelor's degree at UMPI instead, as most associate's degrees take longer and are more expensive.
Also, welcome!
