Pros

A place to learn how to teach, coach and facilitate. Some folks are really nice but they are few and far between.

Cons

Toxic workplace. Colleagues *within & outside of ur school/dept) and ROs can make ur working life miserable by backstabbing/snitching on you and playing you out just to make themselves look good or innocent. Also if u not in their cliche then they make sure you know you're an outsider.

Pros

Hardworking lecturers who will do their work but are not able to find the time to help each other out.

Cons

Loading on more and more workload with measurement criteria that are not realistic. Also extreme push for sustainability resulting in hot and mouldy rooms because air-cons are switched off to save electricity. Blanket aircon temperatures of 25C, result in temperature of office and classrooms with old aircons feeling like 28C as the circulation is weak. Impossible to work or for student as to concentrate during lessons. Need to use own mobile phones to make calls for work as no desk phone is provided. Claiming for phone bills is onerous so most staff end up absorbing the phone bills for the polytechnic out of their own salaries.
