Pros

Wage, work life balance, progression encouraged, felt heard.

Cons

I seriously don’t have any. A great company.

Micro Managed and Overworked

Recruitment Officer (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 1 May 2023

Unrealistically high workload, extremely high staff turnover (60+ in a small team in 1 year period I worked there) and micro management from uncaring Execs. Total lack of communication across departments.

Good place to work

Grateful for the opportunity being given. Loads to learn on how to grow as a team and individual however overall a good place to work. New structure is in place so not sure how it will work out but so far love the place.

Meet a lot of friendly faces, can be very busy

School Crossing Supervisor (Current Employee) - Eagleby QLD - 20 October 2019

Rewarding experience, a joy to see happy little faces, feeling of part of the community, able to go to other school's in your surrounding area learning about other people, helping them. Showing them respect, politeness, always show them a happy face never a grumpy one, talk to someone the way you want them to treat and speak to you. Weather can get quite hot wear comfortable and neat clothing wear enclosed shoes, wear sunglasses rain or shine for not only for sun but also for safety from debris from cars and wind.

Pros

Friendly and rewarding environment

Cons

Nasty motorists, not taking notice of speed

Fast paced but hugely interesting and varied work

Driver suitability services representative (Former Employee) - Western Australia - 20 July 2017

This was a fantastic experience to get to work in such a diverse area, however very fast paced and a lot of self belief was required. Very committed team of management who encouraged you to push yourself but always with their constant support.

Pros

fantastic team environment

Cons

Probably the location as public transport was limited

Have never worked for them

Communications Technician (Former Employee) - Port Hedland WA Australia - 11 June 2017

Have had to do project work though third party companies and not very often. I wouldn't mind working for a government department though as support is always guaranteed when in unfamiliar roles.
