Pros

Extra week of annual leave and cheap onsite food for coworkers.

Cons

- Lack of organisation and processes. Management have a hands off approach and are more concerned with profit than the everyday running of the teams. - Coworkers are expected to take on extra responsibilities outside of their job description, including heavy lifting that does not comply with health and safety requirements. - A lot of expectations put on the coworkers but not much accountability for upper management. - There is no on site parking available for coworkers, despite having an overflow carpark. - Pay could be better, as it currently does not match market standards for certain roles, particularly the salary workers. - Rigid work schedule with no access to flexible working arrangements or being able to negotiate your schedule.

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
