Small workforce, varied tasks, customer service based

Customer Service and Library Officer (Former Employee) - Boyne Island QLD - 21 February 2019

Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed

A combination of customer service, receipting council matters eg. rates, animal registrations, beach access permits, library duties. A flexible working place in regards to part time or full time work, family orientated. As a long time employee (21 yrs and 7 mths, council introduced multi-skilling, so work was always varied and different each day! Customer’s requests were from researching for school projects, assisting how to set up email addresses and applying for employment on our public computers, to selection of books from any genre. Many opportunities to enrol in online courses pertaining to my position, knowledge enhancement was always encouraged. I also created displays for community based events in foyer and within the library area , promoting to customers reasons to attend. Responsible for entering of hall hire requests into computer system (Microsoft Outlook), 10 rooms in total, another task was managing the office mailbox through email.

Pros

Access to computers on lunch breaks, free Wifi, central position near shops and amenities. Able to build flexitime.

Cons

Even though tasks were varied, could become repetitive.

Parks labourer Health crew (Former Employee) - Gladstone QLD - 7 November 2019

Look I had a bad time there, I was more qualified in my position then my coordinator, supervisor and ganger. Any hope of job progression nil because the of family ties and looking after mates which is against the council code of conduct but code of conduct is for the workers not the bosses. The end came due to my ill mental health from bullying.

Ok place for the salary offered, towards the end of my time at Council the morale had dropped considerably and I believe it is even worse now.
