Pros

Some great colleagues who care about their craft

Cons

- Pay increases below inflation every year, if at all. - Management is constantly crying poor. - Terrible communication at best, gaslighting at worst. - Some incredibly manipulative and nasty people in management who will not hesitate to throw you under the bus if it suits them.

Pros

You get to work with creatives who have dreams. The staff are really friendly and there are perks to the role such as discounts on courses, the use of the facilities, interstate travel opportunities for training and meet industry professionals

Cons

The role can be repetitive, it's more sales based than about advising students. The commission can be hard to reach, although I hear they have changed their pay structure recently.
