Pros

The campus at Banyo is beautifully maintained. The car parking is free which is a bonus for a university. Superannuation is very good at 17%.

Cons

No support given. Had no training or a professional review and I was a permanent staff member. Manager who was an very senior academic did not have an open door policy and frequently cancelled meetings. Was told off several times and shouted at, to the point I was afraid of my manager. Flexible hours are promoted but only given to select staff who are favoured. I witnessed frequent bullying by my manager to other staff too. Found out bullying had been going on for a while which is why the previous person in my role left, so did not go to HR as nothing would be resolved and life would be more difficult. Left after a year just so it would look not so bad on my CV. Many academic and professional staff left due to bullying by the same Manager and her Manager. It was the worse point of my career and very disappointing as I always wanted to work there.

Pros

The academic staff that I worked with in the business school were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The working environment in terms of offices and support was good.

Cons

The administrative elements of the University, from HR up to the Vice-Chancellor, are appalling. Hard work to build the business school by its academic members has been undermined by extremely poor decisions and support from these administrative elements that are focused more on the religious aspect of the institution than its function as a university in the 21st century.
