      Great benefits, but leadership lacks grassroots awareness

      Pros

      Great annual leave and hybrid working for prof services. Xmas closure. Costa and Starbucks on campus. Genuinely great team that stick together to support each other.

      Cons

      Leadership has no concept of what is happening at grassroots and solely concerned with the strategy. Too much bureaucracy that slows everything down as decisions take time. Too many priorities. Pay award has been delayed. It’s on its knees financially as is most of the sector. Vice chancellor is an academic and isn’t relatable to prof service staff.
