Great colleagues and passionate students, but low pay - Technician BIMM Institute Employee Review

Mostly great people working at campus level who are friendly and work tremendously hard. Brilliant collaboration across teams. Campus is a nice place to work.

Utterly appalling upper management who are invisible, out of touch and have no idea how much effort, time and passion goes into running things and supporting our students. We were constantly being stripped of resources and staff and were constantly fire fighting as a result. HR are mostly crap and bullying goes unchecked. Grievances are a waste of time. The HR team have no emotional intelligence whatsoever. Pay is rubbish compared to other universities and the annual review process that might (if you're lucky) get you a 1% pay rise is complete nonsense. Last year those of us who scored excellently and were due a pay increase were then downgraded because the company "couldn't afford" to give us all the pay increase we had earned. Morale is crap and people leave in swaithes. No opportunity for progression. Do not work here.

Great colleagues and support staff

Some of the facilities need updating
