      I worked at University of the West Indies full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Pros to working at the UWI include being able to secure a solid educational base for oneself and family. There are three main campuses and so one is able to transfer for work once successful. The environment promotes growth and facilitates the formation of lasting and important relations. Very historical university.

      There is no downside. What you do on entering an organisation determines your altitude.

      Advice to Management

      To promote energy conservation, install motion sensor lights in all restrooms and classrooms.
