Salary isn't quite as competitive as can be obtained in industry. In the field I worked in there was limited scope for career progression after a certain level.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookI worked at University of Leicester full-time
Pros
Excellent environment where you have an opportunity to work with some dedicated, professional people
Cons
Top down management and many glass ceilings due to 'elitist attitudes of some managers. The gentle HR regime means that often people get away with a great deal in terms of sickness absence and conduct before being called to account
Advice to Management
Invest in infrastructure - especially IT. This will bring greater benefits than focussing on salary savings.
