Many years of employment means many experiences - TAFE Teacher Kangan Institute Employee Review

Colleagues are a great bunch to work with Good work/life balance

Upper management seems aloof as they're far away in Melbourne. External sites feel neglected Poor middle and lower management reflected by bad communication and lack of organisation resulting in frequent scheduling issues and daily chaos Teachers are expected to do administrative roles on top of teaching duties Teachers are frequently treated as adversaries by client, resulting in a toxic work environment Prison can be a very difficult workplace at times simply because of the nature of corrections Many students are unmotivated/unwilling to participate in activities Lack of room Poor resources Workplace health and safety comes second to achieving KPIs

Ok pay, nice enough co-workers

Relentless sexual harassment experienced from the (male) automotive students at docklands campus. Teachers/managers/supervisors/HR do nothing despite it being brought to their attention multiple times. HR eventually encouraged me to leave my job and work elsewhere as a solution, just like the women before me who experienced the same thing. Bullying from management level was a huge problem. I witnessed coworkers verbally attacked/berated in front of other staff and I myself also took a turn at being verbally attacked by our manager. Management will also attempt to modify your PD or force you to do work outside your PD against your wishes. HR department was again of no help when I brought these matters to their attention. Honestly, just stay away.
