University for the Creative Arts Pay & benefits reviews

This was only a part-time job during my 2nd year of uni so there’s not much to it. My job was to be the assistant for our lecturers as they held interviews for potential 1st year students.

Pros

Flexible, Easily Done

Minimum hours

Poor benefits & pay

Marketing Manager (Current Employee) - Farnham, Surrey - 20 November 2022

Very poor benefits, including the maternity leave which is well below industry standard. Pay is not consistent with industry standards. Little effort is made to retain good staff and HR is an ineffective mess.

A great employment opportunity for students

Course Ambassador (Current Employee) - Rochester - 9 July 2019

UCA as a company offer many benefits for students, plenty of opportunities and a competitive wage. However communication between employers and employees is unfortunately very poor, leading to issues which can be extremely tedious to resolve. Other than that the community is fantastic.

Pros

travel expenses paid, variety of events, great community, competitive wage

Cons

very poor communication regarding job, resolving any expenses, job issues, pay queries, or other things that require management support, can take a long time to resolve

Fits around Uni timetable

Student Ambassador (Current Employee) - Rochester - 10 April 2017

I like working for my university as they understand my timetable and allow me to work around it. The salary is extremely good for someone my age, especially as a student. The additional money is very handy
