WorkPac Employee Reviews

Not enough shifts for someone to survive or depend on.Keep canceling shift. They pay well but sometimes you will stay a week no shift unless you accept shifts 104k away from your house.

Cons

Having to pay for extra uniform as ours get destroyed very quickly

They say one thing to get you keen then do another once you're there. Unsupportive

Underground Operator (Former Employee) - Appin NSW - 28 January 2023

As a female going into the underground mining industy, I was excited by the opportunity and keen as mustard to learn new skills and get in and have a go. During the initial training I was offered a shift and role that I agreed to. When it came time to take up I was given the only shift I didn't want and a different role. There was no support from the company just unfulfilled promises. I found the company untrustworthy

Pros

Willing to give me a start, paid training, PPE supplied, potential for fair wages

Cons

Untrustworthy, unsupportive, reduced wages during training, disorganised management

Poor communication

Mobile Plant Operator (Former Employee) - Lang Lang VIC - 11 January 2023

Extremely poor communication. Constant error's in hour's worked compared to hour's they will pay you for.And every week they would pay the wrong rate.So you would contact them and they would give you the run around.They wouldn't supply PPE even though they were ment to. I went all winter without wet weather gear.Then summer rolled around and they sent me out full wet weather gear....

Pros

Non

Cons

Everything

All in all , a trustworthy company to work for

Haul Truck Operator (Current Employee) - Gove - 20 December 2022

I’m a haul truck operator under WorkPac. The recruiting process was smooth, site manager is helpful. The only thing is that the pay rate varies significantly for different mining sites. A good company to work for if you want to kick start your career in mining

Productive and fun workplace

Dump Truck Operator (Former Employee) - Cairns QLD - 21 June 2022

Staff wasn't sure what they were doing, only speak to the people they like. Not there to help other work colleagues; only there to throw you under the bus! No support for their workers. ⭐⭐

they thrive off people being desperate to have a job & make big dollars while the worker gets stuff all.

They are more interested in their own jobs

Labour Hire (Current Employee) - Australia - 8 December 2020

Their culture is very orientated towards making sure money rolls in for their own jobs as recruiters. "Employees" are often left to fight for themselves and are treated as just an object to fill a slot ensuring they get payed by the contractor. Your personal needs or rights are not considered. There is no way to get a secure job with them and they find loopholes to keep you casually employed with irregular hours. I would only work for them if you are desperate - that's their perfect employee anyway.

Not great

MINING OPERATOR (Former Employee) - Emerald QLD - 20 May 2020

While working is a great thing, but when they have a reputation to just lay you off when things don't go well with client it leaves unhappy people, casual is ok but not with them.
