Pros
Central CBD location, friendly staff, decent technology, a healthy amount of professional development, extra pay for student consultations and regular meetings.
Cons
Management are ruthless, making swift decisions affecting staff and students with often little or no consultation. Promotions are made overnight without interviews or advertising, while over 70% of the teaching pool are casual. The Upper Management are mostly comprised of fossils that have earned seniority, yet have not got the management training necessary to do their jobs properly. The culture of the student cohort is strained because most classes are dominated by Chinese students. The gender and nationality mix is unbalanced and the opportunity to mix with other students from other cultures is all too often missed entirely. The academic and assessment schedule is crammed with marking and odious admin every day. Some courses have 30 assessment tasks in 10 weeks and run for 50 weeks a years.
