Great Company Culture
Accounts Payable Executive (Former Employee) – Sydney Olympic Park NSW – 16 January 2019
Lion Nathan has such a great company culture where people are fun, approachable and easy to work with. The company itself has provided me with an amazing career opportunities due to its good reputation.
great place to start
Customer Service (Former Employee) – Docklands VIC – 11 September 2018
Some great people to work with. Complex supply chain that is good for learning the FMCG environment. The lack innovation or the acknowledgement of new ideas hampers the growth and performance of many aspects of the business.
Another great company to work for
webMethods Architect/Developer (Former Employee) – Sydney NSW – 31 July 2018
I have worked for Lion on 3 separate contracts. The staff are extremely helpful and supportive. The workplace culture is one of the best that I have had the pleasure to work in.
Pros
The workplace culture and Friday Drinks
Cons
Does not offer the best contract rates
Worst place i have ever worked
MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN (Former Employee) – Malanda QLD – 4 May 2018
In my entire working life which equates to 40 years i have never worked in a place that was run so poorly.
This was basically due to poor leadership which in turn has led to the entire workforce having an "I don't care attitude".
The only good thing about the company which keeps everyone going to work each day is the income, which is very good.

Executive Assistant to Director Secondment (Former Employee) – Sydney Olympic Park NSW – 2 January 2018
Lion has changed a lot over the past 2 years, people are not really happy anymore. they are offshoring and are while trying to save money are losing some great people
Good Company with a lot of waste
SAP Consultant (Current Employee) – Sydney NSW – 14 May 2017
Good culture , good people but recently losing good people at a very fast rate. Started an outsourcing that brings no benefit to the company. There are many projects that started with good intentions but went pear shaped . Just shows the management failure in multiple layers. And funny that they never learn from mistakes just keep repeating them and expecting different results.
Pros
free beer points
Cons
Management with no clue
Lion Dairy and Drinks Crestmead
Forklift Operator (Current Employee) – Crestmead QLD – 7 March 2017
Worked there for around 2 and a half years casual
made some good mates there that i still communicate with
management changed and things wernt the way they were when i started just like most jobs change dramatically from when you start to when you finish.
If you could land a fulltime job there you would be easily set for life.

Team Member (Former Employee) – Bentley WA – 8 November 2016
I found Lion is a great company to work for. The people processes are very supportive, however they will get their monies worth out of you.
Management can work against each other at times, the majority of all the Team Members are friendly and fun to work with.

nothing
Not a bad place to earn some coin
Food Process Worker (Former Employee) – Burnie TAS – 29 July 2016
Overall a balanced working environment, mate-ship is easily formed with co-workers and helps boost morale. Always keeping busy to fulfill contract demands.
Management needs more training.

Machine Operator (Former Employee) – Sydney NSW – 29 May 2016
I would be Machine Operating , I learnt that Team Work is always better as we all work together to get the job done . Also to work hard in every task your given as it is your duty , Becoming a passionate worker and becoming motivate is always vital if you want to do your job correctly.
My co-workers are very hardworking and we all communicate a problem across to each other if there is an issue, We also never slack off however if one of do then the other worker is always there to help them out.
The hardest part of the job is missing out on Friday Night Events , which would be Weddings , Birthdays Anniversaries etc . However it is understandable as Night Shift workers do have to take the Good with the Bad .
The most enjoyable part of the job is working with such a dedicated and hard working team like the one l'm in .
However for myself l need a Permanent Position where l am challenged daily and taught something new daily . A position that has security for myself .
