Needing a strategy

Pros

Good location on the Gold Coast. Pleasant campus (although facilities are no longer cutting edge and becoming dated)

Cons

VC completely lacks any vision and is an unpleasant, insecure and dictatorial authoritarian. It is a most unpleasant place to work that lacks any form of strategy - despite the glossy brochures that get distributed that carry that title. The university is losing its credibility by employing dubiously qualified sessionals whilst they've lost most of their experienced academics. Decent research is almost non-existent and the Research Office is useless and does their best to effectively discourage any quality research.

Toxic Work Culture

Pros

There are pockets of great people at Bond and it has been a pleasure to work with them. Beautiful grounds and staff perks were nice.

Cons

The work culture of Bond is terribly toxic and led to high stress, bullying, micro management and I was also blamed for other's mistakes and my work was rarely recognised. When I mentioned the issues I was treated poorly. Many staff are on temporary contracts below the industry average and are treated terribly by HR and management. I witnessed many terrible stories over the time I worked there.
