    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at KBU International College appreciate the stress-free work environment with a manageable workload and friendly, supportive colleagues. They also highlight the polite and eager students, moderate teaching hours for lecturers, flexibility in scheduling, and social events organised by the college.

    However, there are some potential areas for improvement. These include concerns about the clock-in and clock-out monitoring system for lecturers, lack of a clear salary scale and perceived biases in pay decisions, as well as limited annual leave and medical benefits. Additionally, several reviewers have noted issues with management, describing it as biased, traditional, and resistant to new ideas. There are also concerns about under-equipped facilities and resources, such as labs and libraries, and instances of heavy workloads, with some employees being assigned the workload of multiple people.

    The good thingsthe lecturers' teaching hours are moderate, only high working loads sometimes. quite flexible in terms of timing for lunch and going out in between working hours but the annoying part is that the lecturers are required to work during semester break and basically come to work and do nothing, waste time because there are no classes. kbu offers annual dinners, CNY lunch and happy hour to unwind.
    The challengesThey should remove the clock in & out method to monitor the lecturers. No salary scale. Mostly staff's pay are decided based on skin color & up to the boss. Annual leave is very limited, other universities are offering up to 25 days on the first year. Medical benefits are very limited and they question you if your bill is high at the clinic. No other great benefits that encourage staffs to stay.
