Pros

The colleagues I have worked with at SAE are great. Most are very friendly, supportive, and very serious about their job.

Cons

The workload is completely unreasonable: 24hrs teaching a week with basically no breaks as SAE runs 3 terms a year with only a short 2-week break in August and again in December/January. Preparation time is almost non-existent. Expectations are that you are an expert in everything, without ever providing adequate training or resources. No time for professional development. Salary is far below that of similar positions in other universities. I only ever received a 1% pay increase once during the 5 years I worked there. Very little opportunity for advancement within the company

Pros

-Flexible working hours. -Easy dealings with PRO and Finance departments.

Cons

-Salary pay used to be competitive till the new management arrived. -People in the higher management tend to only care for numbers and will not hesitate to take credit for any form of hard work you have done. -KPI is a joke
