Pros

You work with fantastic people

Cons

Pushy sales techniques The company clearly abuses a government funded scheme designed to help those gain vocational training. No vocational course is worth $20k.

Pros

Free coffee, flexible working conditions, chilled working environment.

Cons

Constantly looking over your shoulder for the next round of redundancies to happen. Grew too fast and wrong people in management to be able to drive growth. Purchased businesses they knew nothing about, thinking they would get rich quickly and made the people who did know about the business and industry redundant in a reactive decision to cut costs. Poor staff moral due to this.

Fun people but grew too fast

Pros

- Fun culture. Always something happening to be part of. Most of the people there are friendly and great to hang out with. -Free coffee from real baristas and casual workplace environment - Good Location, near Glenferrie Station.

Cons

- The company experienced unprecedented growth and behaves in a very impulsive way. Over 50 people were laid off in 2015 and just a few months earlier they were on massive recruitment drives. There was a small HR department for a company of this size and quite often it was not encouraged to go to HR with any serious issues. - The type of character this company attracted and hired was questionable. In one example a colleague took unplanned leave for ridiculous reasons and was never given a warning. Some of the people were of a vindictive nature and acted very unprofessionally and did not make the place as friendly and awesome as it seemed. - Training and development doesn't exist. For an organisation that is about getting quality education and mentoring, new sales people are just 'given a short script' and told to get out there and sell. - Company promises great opportunities within but the reality is you have the choice between sales over the phone or mentoring over the phone. For a big company this doesn't offer much.
