Glasgow-Clyde-College

Worked here on a temporary contract recently in an administrative capacity and found the glacial pace of work frustrating compared to commercial companies.

The department I worked in suffered from being headed by someone who had failed upwards to a position of power, with them having no training in leading or managing a team. I was expected to somehow guess what was required of me and I largely worked alone and unsupervised towards what I could only assume the goal was. They seemed happy with the results, at any rate.

The other people in the office were friendly and welcoming which made it more bearable, but the whole place suffers from a lack of energy. Hopefully the new principle gives them all a kick up the backside.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I worked in a great department, loved working with the students.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I was on a temporary contract, so my hours and classes frequently changed. It was stressful to prepare for classes with short notice.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
My department was great, felt valued and part of a team. Senior management are very hostile and make you feel your job/hours are constantly under threat. Rotten attitude towards trade unions.

Do yourself a favour - join EIS-FELA if you are teaching staff, and UNISON if you are support staff

Apart from learning the basics at the beginning of the first block of the first year of the HND i did, everything iI learnt was on my own. The lecturers favour certain students to the point they gave interviews for the BA course to the ones they liked over everyone else and when called out they didn't acknowledge it until I along with a couple others spoke up because they lied which forced them to give everyone interviews. They make you feel bad about your work and yourself and hate anyone other than the standard typical artsy person. Rude and would not go to Cardonld.

High volume of work, team within my department were excellent and motivated. Hybrid working model which suits both staff and students. management structure is very clear and managers are approachable and fair. job satisfaction is great and hybrid working model was ideal for me.

A temporary position offering cover for 1st & 2nd line work on an as needed basis.  This offered continued opportunities to offer my network and troubleshooting skills  as and when required.

The other co-workers were very helpful to work with and made me feel very at home during my stay at Glasgow Clyde College, particularly the management.

Really poor work environment with too many toxic people who are institutionalised and afraid of change.
Too few people actually care about students and how to help them, its always someone elses problem. For the more disengaged student, this is particularly true. Also its seen as somehow less worthy to teach lower level classes.

Wonderful work environment, filled with amazing students and hard working non-teaching and teaching staff. I started working at Glasgow Clyde College on placement 2 years ago, during this time I have learned an incredible amount during my employment with this institution. I am now confident that I can concur the FE sector.

My time as a student at Glasgow Clyde were very good. The course Coaching and Developing Sport allowed me to grow into a confident individual who finished the course with three A's. If it was not for the lecturers supporting everyone this may have not been the end grade.

Good place to work , friendly atmosphere, opportunity for overtime. Good management. Although there is only one cleaner per floor and sometimes assigned tasks  are overwhelming.

Glasgow Clyde College is a good college to attend they have a wide range of courses available and amazing facilities, the hardest part of the job i would say is when you have to take a car apart clean it then put it back together
