Pros

The salary is well above average for the industry. They are very good about paying penalty rates for weekend work and paying for attending meetings etc at a non-teaching rate. It's a very professional environment.

Cons

The workload is high! Student expectations are high (rightly considering their fees) and there is a lack of cultural diversity in the student cohort. There are very few opportunities to get a permanent position, almost everyone (except those there for 10+ years) is casual. This means you aren't paid for non-teaching weeks, holidays, etc. Hours can fluctuate - take the money and save it while you can. To get a position higher than normal teacher is very competitive, will require a Master's and knowing the right people.

Pros

Overall very happy with my experience at Monash College. I got a great salary and conditions and amazing experience on my CV. I also made some great friends and connections there which have helped me immeasurably since I left.

Cons

The type of work I was doing was fairly repetitive and due to the pace of work there was not much room for individual initiative. I was laid off (with my entire team) with only one week's notice which was a bit of a shock and many of us felt that we were like ghosts in the machine in that final week.
