    Sampaloc Manila City Metro Manila6 to 7 years in the role, current employee
    Lack of growth, unfair pay, weak union, no crisis flexibility; morale remains low overall.
    The good thingsI work for an organization where policies and decisions can sometimes feel inconsistent and not always in the best interest of employees. While there are structures in place, the overall environment can be challenging due to a lack of consideration for staff well-being. One example I found frustrating is the change in policy regarding suspensions. Previously, when students were suspended, office staff were also given time off, which allowed for rest and better work-life balance. However, this practice was removed, and employees are now required to report to work even when there are no students. This change has made the workload feel less meaningful during those times and has reduced opportunities for rest, which has negatively impacted morale. Overall, the experience has been difficult at times due to decisions that seem to prioritize operational presence over employee welfare.
    The challengesImproving communication and providing clearer rationale behind policy changes would also help employees feel more valued and included in decision-making processes. Additionally, placing greater emphasis on employee well-being—such as allowing flexible arrangements or recognizing downtime when operations are limited—could significantly improve morale. Overall, a stronger focus on fairness, transparency, and staff welfare would enhance both employee satisfaction and organizational effectiveness. My overall experience with the organization has been disappointing due to the lack of professional and financial growth. Despite years of service, there has been little improvement in compensation, and it is discouraging to see newly hired employees receiving higher pay than long-tenured staff, which creates a sense of unfairness.

    WRP - More than just your normal PE Class
    The good thingsFor this job, I got to choose what physical activities I could offer to the students and allow them to discover among themselves that they can also do other forms of physical activities and being encouraged to do so on a regular basis as part of their daily routine to keep themselves healthy.
    The challengesThe set of students you get to have every meeting is different. Adjusting your teaching styles and approaches to the skills of the students are essential for them to enjoy the session.

    I learned a lot of things and I owed them the wealth of my teaching experience
    The good thingsThe university Dean was supportive and very competitive since the pay was also very good. However, teachers were expected to perform their best every semester or they would be fired the next semester.
    The challengesThe level of stress was manageable but the benefits were limited and restricted since it was only a part time job

    Wrong teaching load and very overload
    The good thingsThe salary is above average for college faculty members who have master's degree and doctorate. The university is very stable.
    The challengesTeaching load not aligned with the teachers' specialization, 4-5 academic preparations instead of following CHED's recommendation of 2-3 preparations, overload reaching up to 30 units, disorganized loading system, politics and some administrators very sensitive to criticisms.

    A TRADEOFF FOR EVERYTHING
    The good things- Non-sectarian and anything goes - It you have a good program head, then you can reap rewards as full-time such as trainings and research - Good working relationship at least with my department - Research is valued, you get deloaded if you have a proposal - Always clean environment - labs are great
    The challenges- owned by a family, profit comes first - no basic pay, you are paid per hour - you have to wait for around 4 months to get your first salary - it appears that staffs are more secured than faculty - some questionable policies that force you to just choose it as a part-time job -not so much for instructors "with expertise" -poor communication... Always

    The good thingsI'm motivated by my students. Majority of which really want to learn from what I have to teach and share. The office staff are friendly and helpful. My peers are respectful even if I am younger than most of them. I like the fact that there is a large open space inside the university. The HR here is responsive and open.
    The challengesSome of the other departments are somewhat slow in delivery particularly IT. They need to face certain challenges in order to provide proactive service. Unlike in some other institutions, you don't have to wait because they've already went beyond their duties in order to provide you a better working environment. I have to bring my own equipment so I can perform my tasks most of the time. Also, the school budget for programs are not that generous. The limitations are almost haphazard to the programs, it's like buying car spare parts at a time in order to build a car INSTEAD of buying the car and then buying the add-ons to make it more efficient...

    My boss and co-employees are good
    The good thingsThey are very understanding in our office. Even though our schedules were flexible and sudden the pay is high. It is very hard to find a good mentor/immediate supervisor and boss.
    The challengesFEU Insys is very hard to use. Not very user-friendly if you'd ask me. Our schedule is flexible thus filing in advance is very hard because of the sudden changes in our schedule which clearly affect our payroll.
