A reality check for the experienced but good exposure for new entrantThe good thingsSalary range is slightly on the high side, and the employee benefits are really good in the local education market. Alot of food options and public transportation choices around , and the location is in an affordable part of the city. People are generally friendly, and the working hours and practices are quite flexible. When its 'low season', can get really quiet and free.
The challengesDisjointed approach primarily affects the executives, while senior management is "trying to make something work." Departments lack effective communication and collaboration which is very obvious that it has been the case for many years. Departments make changes without consulting each other first before implementation. They are quite active on meetings and discussions (depends on which department I guess). Employees can't really focus solely on their core responsibilities as managing of other tasks somehow will affect in your daily business. Pretty inefficient education administration processes I've encountered.
