Also, the constantly use of favouritism from managers toward the staff has increase the discrimination and inequality to the staff, usually based on friendship. From three years ago the department has goes down dramatically. I left in 2016 but I keep in touch with colleges from the LSE catering department. It is sad that staff that were working for the LSE catering department for more than 20 years left from one day to other because they are not able to cope with the management pressure. I hope that the LSE catering department will be able to offer to the staff what this department used to provided a good environment and a great place to work in. Free lunches for catering staff, good environment at the University staff favouritism, zero hours contract, moving staff from rush hour to rush hour 3.0 0.0 2.0 2.0 3.0 3.0 4.0 1.0 Jan 24th, 2021 02:55PM Mar 20th, 2021 04:13PM London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Consumer Services General Retailers

If you get the right line manager you'll have a significantly better experience. However, it is difficult to progress and get promotion because of internal processes. I feel there are issues still around diversity, blame and bullying culture. The School is trying very hard to fix them, but cultural and organisational change at the School is very difficult and very, very slow - senior management have a poor grasp of change management so restructures are often painful and badly handled. It can be incredibly difficult to get things done, which can be very frustrating. It's a shame also that so many poor management practices are tolerated, as that also holds the organisation back. Developmental training opportunities for admin staff have increased and improved markedly in the last year or two, but unfortunately the School still has few mechanisms to allow people to progress. And the HERA salary review system stifles progression and wages, particularly for those in admin or who have reached the top of their salary band. The benefits are good, work hours are generally flexible which makes for good work/life balance, leave is amazing and the pay is OK for the sector. Education is a rewarding environment to work in, the LSE is a prestigious institute that draws people from all over the world, and at a personal level you will work with some amazing and inspiring people. It would be ideal for someone coming for a couple of years as part of their onward career journey. Benefits, holidays, work colleagues, training opportunities, work hours and work/life balance lack of progression, slow pace of change and poor management 2.0 0.0 3.0 5.0 2.0 2.0 4.0 1.0 Jan 24th, 2021 02:55PM Mar 20th, 2021 01:42PM London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Consumer Services General Retailers
