Fantastic colleagues but very often inept management

Student support

Business Outlook

Pros

pension fund good, annual leave fairly generous, better if you're a lecturer. Generally excellent colleagues with the usual exceptions

Cons

Management take little or no responsibility for their ineptitude, as they are dreadful at organising. Awful management of people, buzzwords and finance take massive precedence over working conditions for both staff and students. Blame culture from management to other staff.
