Pros

- Great colleagues - Wide-ranging opportunities within the organisation, although take the initiative and make connections outside of your area to ensure you're well connected.

Cons

- Pay was lower than other government agencies. - Employment ended when trying to return from parental leave and was not given any flexibility on work hours/location. Unfortunately, I resigned prior to seeking further advice from the union, which would have resulted in me being able to remain with flexi working.

Pros

Great culture and teamwork! It is a government organization with good team dynamics and culture. Allows each member to contribute. I will always go back to this company. HR Group are warm & welcoming.

Cons

There is nothing I can think of.

Pros

Public sector, thus decent job safety and good work-life balance.

Cons

When and where it counts, leadership seems unwilling to stick their necks out and stand up for their employees, and tend to prioritise most other things above employee development and other employee needs, which makes it very difficult to retain talent and to believe all the talk about valuing employees.
