SAE Institute Senior Lecturer reviews

Low pay and variable hours

Hard work is rewarded only with more work. Staff are badly over-worked, students badly under-served; especially those from overseas. The syllabus material is regularly rushed, late and/or incomplete. Onus for this, as well as miles of red tape, is placed entirely upon staff. Certain specific aspects of SAE's official internal policy actually contravene the National Employment Standard, yet so far as I am aware remain unchanged. In my opinion, SAE's management are as a matter of policy committed to keeping costs low and staff silent. A pervasive atmosphere of mistrust keeps staff afraid for their jobs; and HR are not there to help.
