Pros

-Pay, benefits, hybrid working -People (co-workers) -Some bosses -Campuses & amenities like cafes

Cons

-Expect a redundancy, restructure, project realignment every 2 years -Services -Terrible people & culture team has no regard for employees as they roll out these restructures, they turn out to be unsuccessful and require another restructure in less than 2 years -Senior leadership is lost - they bring in new people with new vision who implement restructures not forward looking -Top heavy structure with less staff to do work hence no work life balance -Only way to go up is who you know -Prediction is there will be a lot more hiring and cost blowouts on salary once they realise the current services structure cannot work especially due to the top-heavy nature of it -P&C should investigate the type of hiring that takes place post restructures where new CFO's CTO's implement new structures and then bring in former mates, this then ensuring a change in culture where Deakin staff lose out on meritocracy, and it becomes a case of who you know

Pros

Great people working in all departments and all levels of the university. Access to excellent facilities and services.

Cons

Staff retention, especially in support roles, needs to be better. Navigating university procedures and digitial infrastructure can be frustrating and time consuming.
