Pros
I'll preface this with saying it depends on your team. But in mine - * Great work/life balance *Friendly people *Good boss *Local *Flexibility around WFH
Cons
*Training is bad. No real programme around this, people forget to tell you little things which end up causing issues down the track. *Boring, repetitive work *Staff in the general place can be quite rude/snarky and none of this gets dealt with really (although most are nice enough) *Not very clean - cleaners seem to do absolute basics *PCs are often slow (for a polytech, this is strange) *Some staff are very stuck in their ways and won't listen to ideas for improvements *Cafeteria is very expensive with most food being very average *There is little money to be spent on campuses/staff/students *You don't get paid overtime. You get time in lieu. Be careful that you have a boss that honours this.
