Worked here for 20 years

Cons

Can't really progress unless you have a degree

Advice to Management

Treat support staff same as academics

Pros

There are the usual benefits for an organisation of this size - pension, life insurance, travel to work schemes etc. and good facilities on campus for food and drink plus markets and events for students that staff can use too. There are lots of opportunities for internal training organised by HR but it can be hard to work out what the courses are about and a lot you can't take part in until you've been there over a year...

Cons

Unfortunately the organisation has no real strategic direction. We receive regular emails from management encouraging everyone to increase student numbers but heads of department won't set anyone targets (for teams or individuals) or give any strategy or work objectives. Some of the people are nice but no-one is given any purpose so problems are not dealt with and nothing ever progresses. I was given no induction when...

Advice to Management

Induct staff properly and have proper structures for inductions. Give staff objectives to work to and managers should meet with them to check progress so people feel supported and like they are making progress in their roles.
