Interview - Anonymous employee Tameside College Employee Review

Large classrooms with good facilities, genuine freedom to develop and shape the curriculum, and a caring, supportive staff body.

Negative management culture, inconsistent pay across responsibility levels, and the absence of course-lead roles in my department, seemingly to keep salaries lower.

I was able to negotiate a daily rate after previously being paid for class only.

The department office culture was not friendly to me, and found myself having to work in the canteen just to escape the frequency casual racism undertones of office banter. I felt I couldn't say anything, because I needed the money.
