Avantages
Relaxed working hours and reasonable workloads
Inconvénients
Too much office politics. Staff management is poor and unprofessional by relying on HoD's management skills. Rather than managing the department based on norm/work ethics, a personal preference and favoratism overrules. For a dispute among staff, management doesn't even interview both parties but hear one side story to make a decision. It encourages everyone to look for the HoD with flattering actions as HoD decides all based on a personal character juding based on gossip/biased opinion rather than professional procedures such as interviewing staff with HR attendance. Even a staff can have a full time study as well as a full time teaching. How can it be possible in a normal organisation? Too slow in decision making process. It sometimes takes a few months for a busines trip.
