    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.

    Manila City Metro Manila1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    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.
