University of Glasgow Employee Reviews about "job security"

Pros

Flexible working hours, staff was looked out for as much as was possible in the higher education constraints

Cons

Job security depended on external funding, no chance of further progression in career unless external funding was secured - the usual higher education issues. However, internal support was sometimes hindered and external new staff was hired to boost the recurring REF evaluation

Pros

Flexible working hours, relaxed environment

Cons

no long term job security, pay should be higher reflecting skill level.

Pros

good development opportunities, working on Athena Swan goals

Cons

no job security, experience in your job is supervisor dependent

Pros

The city and people of Glasgow are fabulous. The university gives ample opportunity for collaboration with colleagues both within your department and with other departments. There is a freedom to pursue research where it leads.

Cons

zero-hour contracts offer no benefits or job security. I held a fair number of small (from 2 week to 3 month) contracts over my years there.
