Pros

Location. Opportunity to apply for internal vacancies. Job security.

Cons

The hierarchical structure of this place is unbelievable. Incompetent and authoritarian senior managers that have no touch with reality. Communication between departments is dreadful. Human Resources is particularly bad for those working there as well as those who need to deal with it. Workload is not manageable and work-life balance doesnt exist in some departments. Grading system is often unfair with those in the mid/lower grades often working harder than everybody else (really useless and incompetent Senior Management). Promotion process is a joke. High turnover. laming and bullying culture and many people out sick due to stress and poor mental health - management doesnt care and doesnt address these issues.

Pros

The buildings are pretty and the place is full of lazy people so it's easy to look good

Cons

A terrifically dysfunctional organisation with almost zero internal cohesion - literally nobody gives a damn about the institution, just themselves. The place is dominated by narcissistic empire builders on the one hand and incredibly lazy psychopathic status whores on the other. Central management is powerless and spends all their money on ridiculous marketing efforts.

Pros

The location of the College is great near all vital transport links and shopping. Job security is also good. Lovely to work in the center of the city with access to wonderful cultural events also held here.

Cons

Lack of promotion opportunities for EO Admin staff Lack of recognition for working above and beyond the job description Disappointing that staff do not have free membership of the sports centre Timings of classes also do not help those on the 9-5:30pm working day
