The grass is not greener - Anonymous employee Victoria University Employee Review

Flexible time to teach, relax environment to work. Hands-on students and eager to learn and engage if you know to engage them.

The parking spots are limited.

Great faculty and administrative staff, interesting students with a diverse range of backgrounds, cultures and languages, decent rate of pay for adjunct staff.

Unfortunately, there is no opportunity for casual, sessional, or adjunct lecturers and tutors to progress to full time (let alone tenured) positions - no matter how qualified and dedicated they are. None of your research time is subsidized, there is limited office space, and no job security.
