Pros

The staff themselves are mostly lovely and are very passionate about supporting and welcoming students from all circumstances and cultures.

Cons

The leadership is non-existent. They have a strategy document which is a shopping list of buzz words and budget-focused nonsense. And the staff portal/intranet is the stuff of nightmares. You cannot find a single thing that you need. The finance processes (actually almost all processes) are convoluted, pointless and a general waste of time. Oh and HR? They won’t answer calls or emails - they will only take ticket requests through the portal, IF you can find it. The workers are mostly great, but this university is utterly bloated with pointlessness. Oh, and they offer “flexible” working arrangements that are rigidly set at 3 days on-campus with no flexibility… go figure.

Pros

Flexible time to teach, relax environment to work. Hands-on students and eager to learn and engage if you know to engage them.

Cons

The parking spots are limited.

Pros

Great faculty and administrative staff, interesting students with a diverse range of backgrounds, cultures and languages, decent rate of pay for adjunct staff.

Cons

Unfortunately, there is no opportunity for casual, sessional, or adjunct lecturers and tutors to progress to full time (let alone tenured) positions - no matter how qualified and dedicated they are. None of your research time is subsidized, there is limited office space, and no job security.
