    Good work life balance but there are mixed feelings
    The good thingsGenerally good work life balance compared to the industry. If you believe in education, this is a great place to do so.
    The challengesPay ceiling and work recognition is the real issue if you wish to see career progression. Amongst the various stat boards, this stat board probably pays below average for most staff. Not even comparing to the industry.
