Pros

The University had a nice campus

Cons

Hours of work - approx 50/wk. (meant to be 37.5) Admin needlessly repeated 4 times (marks and feedback to be sent to students 1. via email, 2. in person 3. on the VLE 4. on the Turnitin). They seem so scared of getting a lawsuit that they had the head of department running round like a mad man forcing us to redo admin 4 times over. There is a space for a diversity and inclusion score - I'll leave it blank, but there were a lot of non-whites as you'd expect at one of these places.

Pros

Students come with high hopes and staff on the ground floor enjoy helping them and doing their best for them

Cons

Study Group is a money-making machine. The hypocrisy of the cowboys claiming 'students first' is breath-taking. There are sharkish and questionable practices throughout the company and especially amongst senior managers and a culture of brushing under the carpet many scandalous goings-on. You don't have to be much of a moralist to feel disgust for Study Group and it is time the company was held to account. Staff can be bullied out of their jobs if they ask questions or challenge their centre managers. HR will not support or help staff or deal with grievances although they will pretend to be even-handed. Study Group is run by a few greedy people, a bunch of well-paid consultants and a handful of well-paid centre managers. Everyone else should do what they can to leave before the company has been completely squeezed by its American Private Equity owner and dumped on the next buyer. Think BHS. This has been the worst, most sickening company I ever worked for and I will never forget the time i spent at this horrible place.
