When processes need streamlining, the chair is open to ideas to initiate change, if warranted
Professional development is encouraged
Department philosophy is strongly built round DAP, research, and strong communication
37.5hrs/week for non-supervisors. Excellent benefits. Tons of holidays paid off. You get December 24 - January 2 off paid every year, not taken out of vacation.
Cons
It is government so your pay is not as high as you would like it to be. Also once full time almost impossible to be let go...which stinks when you have lazy workers.
