Turn off your brain, don't ask questions and just do your job.

Blueberry Substrate Irrigator (Former Employee) - Tolga QLD - 19 February 2018

Very disappointing workplace, Management is a significant problem and a massive turnover of employees and staff is the result. Wages are set by EBA and are only average, but have a 2.5% increase every year. Unfortunately all jobs are full time casual and very low chance of becoming permanent employee. Jobs are generally very repetitive and require working in the elements.

Pros

Get to meet lots of people backpacking from around the world

Cons

Management, working in the rain

Previous season was a pleasure to work in this section and many of the workers returned. After this season's display no workers wish to return

Distribution Centre 21C Berry Classification (Former Employee) - Devonport TAS - 8 May 2016

There is a person in Management who caused people to go on 'stress' leave due to this persons 'Bully' tactics. Higher management was/is informed and still to this day nothing has been done to correct this problem. Your company asks for a review from me, which I personally find in appropriate at this stage in time. In all my 45yrs of work experience I have NEVER come across a more horrific situation that in appropriate behaviour is still to this day being let carried out. This is why I am seeking work elsewhere. The workers that I employed this season worked under daily stress awaiting this other Manager to interfere, and I being only casual and a Assistant Manager.

Pros

This season there was no pros for the DC workers

Cons

Worker was pulled up for having lunch, told get back to wk. In doing so had accident resulting to workcover.

fun workplace

Senior operator of composting tunnels complex (Current Employee) - Perth, WA - 24 January 2015

fun workplace, but some older machinery break downs can extend the day more than pleasingly. variety of work performed on different days, which make the job more interesting. We grow mushrooms.

Pros

4 ten hour shifts/week, so you extra time for your own stuff.

Cons

machinery break downs can mean very long days on occasion.

Was responsible for all domestic orders the leave out sheds, fresh produce, resposible for all domestic invoicing. Daily orders entered Great people to work for the hardest part of my job was the deadlines and pressure but was very changelling but rewarding at the same time The passion the company has for the business.
