Pros

Relationships with team members. Introduction to industry, opportunity to build my skill base.

Cons

There is a clear pattern of favouritism towards certain employees, which undermines fairness and equity within the organisation. Communication lacks transparency and honesty, creating an environment where clarity and trust are minimal. Additionally, there is a notable absence of accountability from leadership. Employee mental health appears to be overlooked, and the workplace environment is divisive and ableist, which harms both morale and inclusivity. There is also a significant lack of trust in employees, resulting in a culture where staff feel overly scrutinised and hesitant to make even minor decisions without approval. Micromanagement is widespread, stifling autonomy and leading to frustration across teams. Leadership at senior levels is often under-skilled, with little to no support provided for growth and development. The lack of open and honest dialogue, particularly from senior management, has fostered a culture of “Yes men,” who are unwilling to offer honest feedback. Furthermore, the highest levels of leadership have shown a concerning tendency to hold grudges against staff who challenge them, manipulate narratives to suit personal agendas, and display unprofessional behaviour, including reprimanding People and Culture staff for sharing feedback from exit interviews. There is a troubling lack of self-reflection among senior management, with a tendency to blame departing employees for organisational issues instead of addressing potential areas for improvement. Training and upskilling programs are slow-moving, with significant delays in approvals for resources that could help staff develop. As a result, employees are unfairly blamed for knowledge gaps. Creative thinkers are not welcomed, and innovative ideas are not encouraged. There is an overwhelming expectation for employees to toe the company line with little room for independent thought or dissent. Given these issues, a significant exodus of talent is highly likely if changes are not made.

Pros

Family run and own which makes it more of a personalised work place, you can interact with the director if you choose to take the opportunities, and lots of internal opportunities too. Not commission based which means you get a consistent income, and the salaries are above what you would make with commission in a competitive and inconsistent market. Good training and support from senior team members. Moving towards hiring experienced workforce instead of young employees who think they are owed more more more. You get out what you put in. Nice social club activities like quarterly celebrations and events. Recognition of service and open EOI for promotions if you are deserving, at any time. There were periods where it felt like secrets were apart of the normal but this has changed significantly in the last few months which is great to see.

Cons

Still have some of the young workforce here who need a good dose of reality - the grass is not always greener. Need more development of the senior leadership team as a few have left in my time here. Sometimes because it is a smaller company there is a bit of gossip but this can also keep things entertaining.

Pros

•There's a real focus on doing the right thing for nurses/midwives and hospitals which is great to see from an agency •Pay is competitive, you know what your getting each fortnight, no need to track your expected commission •There are often lunches/coffee/morning tea provided which is nice •Events outside of work are paid for and frequent •If you want there’s a lot of opportunity to get involved in more than just your role •You learn a lot because there’s a lot going on and everything is constantly changing

Cons

•Everything is constantly changing •A lot of females across teams, so there can be a bit of gossip and assumptions on things, they don't really ask anything directly, they just gossip about it •Sometimes things feel a bit manual or clunky
