La Trobe University

Nice campus, lots of trees and animals.

Senior Management is extremely poor. Executive Level mediocrity and groupthink leads to mediocrity being accepted as the norm. A university with huge potential but it won't happen with the current rusted on VC and VP Team.

Team work , work with people , helping people and company , Mature age , but have had a lot of experience and knowledge for the job , having a lot of on job training for the period working in the past

Mature age , not young any more !

Students are amazing to work with. The campus is active & engaging

Incompetent management & SEG. Bunch of academics with 0 management skills running a university. No career progression as Management is partial to staff they worked with in other Universities (Griffith in particular). Current management has no idea about the history of University & how University was built over the years.

La Trobe is a great place to work. As a smaller university there's lots of opportunities to take on roles for career development. I feel really great about working at a university which has a strong commitment to social justice and to continual learning. La Trobe contributes expertise to important social debates. I also love working with so many talented academics and professional staff who are committed to providing an excellent education for students.

Federal government support for universities is desperately inadequate. This has left La Trobe vulnerable to the financial effects of the loss of international students this year.

Flexible work hours

Poor Management very heiracial

Flexible work policy

Poor middle management & a disconnection from senior executives. Antiquated systems and internal processes

Um the salary. Nothing else to say. Some nice people

Ignore bad behaviour and allow the worst people to run things. Spout culture but it’s the worst I’ve experienced. Management are just there to cover each other’s backs. Third rate university

Software licensing Computer equipment Flexible working

Older management seem totally out of touch with the target demographic (students) and even more out of touch with (any) industry outside University. Lazy mid level staff, very low accountability, days of work takes weeks or somehow even months. Simply too many middle and senior managers who produce too little if any work product. Generally low level of employee competence, surprising with so many degrees floating around. Students are taught far better standards than those practiced at the University. I have seen EDMs being designed in Microsoft Word, tragic.

Supportive and encouraging development

Learning new systems

Great work environment, always lively and positive. Amazing campus.

The only challenge might be the laboratory head I worked with, who was extremely hard on me.
