Very flexible but always switched on
Database Specialist (Current Employee) – Sydney NSW – 16 September 2019
the work enviroment was amazing where i was always on call and worked long hours, hence they provided flexible working hours to compansate for this long hours and weekend work.
i was always switched on and challanged by the issues that arose however troubleshooting and fixing them was always rewarding.

competitive salary however can be a bit of a difficult work environment
Assistant to Senior Administrative Officer (Former Employee) – Sydney NSW – 3 January 2019
great renumeration and benefits however the management can be difficult to work with and sometimes make decisions which negatively impact the work place in terms of productivity.
Not a bad place to work.
Student Ambassador (Current Employee) – Sydney NSW – 3 December 2018
Enjoyable workplace insofar as it offers large flexibility in hours. The downside is that the flexibility often manifests as an inability to receive shifts for protracted periods of time
Pros
Flexible hours
Cons
Long spells without shifts

Casual-Full Time, Barista (Current Employee) – Camperdown NSW – 10 June 2018
Great job with flexible hours and competitive pay (I was honestly surprised). Management is solid but somewhat hands off. That's a pro or con depending on how you lean. All in all, a great experience.
It goes without saying that the entire uni is dead quiet on semester breaks, so you could find what was otherwise a reliable job suddenly able to give you many hours depending on what time of the year it is. That is just an unavoidable part of how cafes on campus work.

Ensuring that all programs operated as required and all key performance indicaters were met
Coordinator (Former Employee) – Sydney Inner Suburbs NSW – 9 March 2017
A typical day was ensuring all programs operated on time and that all employees and resources were available for each and every day. I learned that it is difficult to please everybody and to maintain professionalism at all times. The workplace was very personal and it was difficult to seperate the two bot in the workplace level and management level. The most enjoyable part of this work was ssisting disadvantaged overcome barriers which lea to success
Pros
Good income and salary sacrafice options
Cons
personal and professional were hard to seperate on all levels.
complicated workplace

Researcher (Former Employee) – Sydney NSW – 23 September 2016
It's fun, you don't have to wear business attire, you meet lots of interesting people, you have flexible hours and pretty much do your hours. But there is tons of work and you have to work extra hours to be on time with your work schedule.
