23: University of New England Employee Reviews

Only left because it got too hard to manage 2 jobs. As a firefighter with FRNSW During the worst fire season ever I could not provide the commitment necessary for the UNE. I found firefighting at the time more meaningful.

Bad work for good pay.

Administration Assistant (Current Employee) - Armidale NSW - 16 February 2023

You'll be undervalued, you'll never know if your contract will be rolled over, and they'll fire you for loose change. They pay great though. High pressure environment with a toxic workplace culture

Great job, wish I'd stayed there.😕

Online Learning Designer (Former Employee) - Parramatta NSW - 22 November 2019

UNE is a pretty good place to work for, though like many places under threat of the Federal and State governments, it's far from a job to take one to retirement, Josh Frydenberg.

usually, we have lots of meetings and catchups where we express our ideas and projects to learn from each other. The work environment is dynamic and the department where I work is very supportive and lovely. I have learned a lot from the people I am working with. Overall, it is enjoyable to be part of UNE.

Ambiente di lavoro dinamico e stimolante

Assistente di lingua italiana (Former Employee) - New South Wales - 19 September 2019

Esperienza avuta alle prime armi come assistente di lingua italiana. Trovandomi in un altro continente ho avuto la possibilità di sperimentare in prima persona le difficoltà ma anche la bellezza di essere in contatto con culture tanto diverse dalla mia.

Awful! Working at the UNE is to be avoided at all costs!

Tutor (Former Employee) - Student services - 3 September 2019

As one of the largest employers who offers 17%+ in superannuation and unlimited sick days, UNE is rife with toxic cliques of people that should, if they could, have moved onto better jobs but stay there because there are no other viable opportunities in the so-called cit of Armidale. Without a doubt, this was the most toxic environment that I have ever worked in with a workplace culture that had people dropping like flies. Don't do it to yourself!

Pros

17%+ superannuation & unlimited sick days

Cons

The people, the university (because of its low standards) & the city.

University cleaning job.

Cleaner (Former Employee) - Armidale NSW - 17 August 2018

I initially was working at Gayra tomato farm, but stopped because of lack of transport car. Then got that University cleaning job. Though fond of it, my family wanted me to leave for Melbourne, but back to Sydney, for I love Sydney a lot.

Great company to work for

Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) - Armidale NSW - 16 May 2017

This company is fantastic to work for. They have flexible options for a work/life balance which is great if you have family care outside of work. Some of their processes could be more streamlined but this is more a result of personnel making decisions than the company itself. Would definitely recommend working for them as the town has a lot of opportunities for kids and adults and cost of living is considerably less than that of living in a city.

Pros

Great leave entitlemetns

Cons

Personnel conflicts with in some departments
