Prisoner transport (Current Employee) – Western Australia – 22 April 2019
Lots of cover up of not reporting incident so it will be not long to come to another wand case in the prisoners transport I have try to tell them. I have been bully and threatened by officers and been stood down because I said something of what’s going on there. I tell management but they do not what to know.
Pros
I have a job
Cons
They do not list to you
Worst company I've ever worked for.
Commercial Cleaner (Current Employee) – Central Coast NSW – 11 April 2019
Absolutely terrible company and working conditions. You have to get up at 3am and you don't even get penalties in your pay. Management doesn't care at all, and they neglect to pay you properly. I have had to go to the Fair Work ombudsman to chase up hundreds of dollars owed to me by slack and uncaring management. They refuse to reply to my emails and text messages, I have contacted both Payroll and Management and they completely neglect my communication, even after I warned them that I would approach Fair Work.
Would not recommend working for this company at all, save your application for a more reputable organisation.

Brief History
Lecturer (Former Employee) – FIFO – 6 March 2019
Broadspectrum formerly known as Transfield Group and are a large Engineering and logistics firm that deal with offshore processing for refugees on Manus Island Nauru and Christmas Island.
In my role I was employed to teach English to refugees at the Lombrum Naval Base on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.
The job consisted of FIFO work consisting of the ratio 3:3
(3 weeks on and weeks off)
The job was a high stress work environment with unpredictable conditions that could emerge at any given moment as well as the oppressive humidity, heat and working facilities.

Contact Centre agent (Current Employee) – Parramatta NSW – 7 February 2019
Being an after hours agent, the work is done under minimum supervision therefore it has taught me to be work independently and with honesty.
The management is very supportive of your decisions and career path you desire for and is also very flexible to work around your schedule to strike a balance between work and personal life especially for working mothers.

Area supervisor (Former Employee) – Sydney NSW – 14 December 2018
This company is not for those who wants to work hard and step up to the better roles.There's no fair evaluation of performance. Huge discrimination prevail within the company.High performing staffs are always kept in the same position, they never get promoted so that the senior managers do not need to worry about the person's area.
Pros
Having a job is better than not having one.
Cons
Couldn't find anything positive except I made some friends.
essential, exicting job role
