Flexible
Administration Officer (Current Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 20 September 2023
Flexible working a bonus, not very inclusive, did not feel like I was part of a team, management think they are gods. Extra roles added onto job, impossible to do 3 people’s role in one day.

Extremely passive aggressive
Network locomotive driver (Former Employee) - Wickham WA - 28 July 2023
Passive aggressive almost to the point of abusive. You can’t trust their managers their privacy policy nor their contract terms if you thinking of working them make sure you have a good lawyer in your back pocket
Pros
Free food

Everything else

What is the best part of working at the company?The crews and supervisors were great all looked after eachother with no issues. I learned to operate multiple machinery with something new everydayWhat is the most stressful part about working at the company?Night shift is very hard when the mine is dark and you have to take precautions when driving the trucks What is the work environment and culture like at the company?The work environment was great happy and helpful people no matter what department. The executive team knew you by name and always would come to the Crib room at prestart to yarn or have a feed with the crews What is a typical day like for you at the company?Pre start to know where ypur working for the day supervisor drops you off and checks in through the day ypu would always go back to the crib as a crew to eat lunch and smoko together for team bonding

Terrible culture and fails to walk to talk.
Investigator (Former Employee) - Perth WA - 9 February 2023
Depending on your seniority within the business will determine how you are treated. The more senior you are, the more the company is inclined to turn a blind eye to poor behaviors and not hold you to account, regardless of the number of formal complaints raised by other employees.
Pros
Travel
Cons
Extremely poor culture.
