I have been working at University of Birmingham full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
- Flexible working
- Good work life balance
- Depending on your manager and funding you might have opportunities for training and personal growthCons
- Limited opportunities for career progression; you are stuck to Grade 7
- Mainly interested in student satisfaction and not that bothered about staff
- Not well paid, no bonuses if you reach the year's objectives
- No real incentives to keep staff motivated
- Crowded parking, you may need to drive around uni for 30min+ to find a spaceAdvice to Management
Look after your staff because student satisfaction depends a lot on their work and enthusiasm
