Pros

One of the best system I have ever worked with.

Cons

There are just so many but let's go with the 5 cores value of Link Group. Teamwork: There's no teamwork when the team leader only favour the suck up and promote the people they like. It just split the team in half (the do as you told VS the do your job right). I am sure you can see who the winner is right? Integrity: Honesty is the best policy!! (WRONG not here) raise an honest question at the CEO meeting in this place and you'll get pull out and get put down to your place with their intimidation tactic (let's find something (just whatever) and put them on a performance improvement). Commitment: Well you can be committed to your role and your job but at the end of the day I can tell you, Link Group will treat you as just another number. The moment the CEO has decided to let workplace bully becomes a norm that's when you know all of the time you spent learning, progressing to be better with this company is going nowhere. Professionalism: They expect everyone to be professional but they themselves do not. The practice - if you promise to call someone back or get back to them about something - DO IT - whether it's good or bad news (be professional. This practice here does not apply to HR or people closer to the top. This place promise alot but doesn't deliever. Respect: Respect works both way: For someone to respect you, you will need to respect them as well ( treat people how you would like to be treated). I've lost all respect for this place the moment the CEO decided to look up when there's workplace bully down below.

Pros

Link Group will provide an opportunity for you to realise that working anywhere else is a win. Good thing the food court is close by for all that comfort food you’ll need.

Cons

Abhorrent management. Double standards, favouritism nasty surprises, nasty looks and public berating will usually greet you before 10am. If management like you, you can and will get away with anything even at the expense of other members of the team. In all likelihood, you’ll be promoted and you won’t even need to apply. Transparency is non existent. The goal posts narrow regularly and salary is rubbish. You’ll make more money working in almost any other job and will have at least 5x the motivation. Don’t ever call in sick for any reason short of loosing a limb. Don’t ever tell them why you’re sick- they’ll use that against you. Humiliation tactics are frequently used and are also used publicly. Nothing like belittling an employee in front of the team to build morale, stroke the management ego and motivate the rest of the team to keep in line. So don’t ever make a spelling mistake. Lord help you if you forget one of the tens of ever changing procedures just once. If you don’t smile- you have an attitude problem. If you do smile, you’re not working hard enough. Don’t bother with HR- they are for the benefit of management only. No matter what poor efforts they go through to disguise their bias as genuine concern.

Toxic culture

Pros

Working from home as long as you want is good. Took a global pandemic but they got there.

Cons

Culture of sexism and homophobia from management is routinely covered up. Worked in more gossipy workplaces but never one where it stems so much from upper management. Too often confidential and sensitive information being leaked for no professional reason. Gaslighty environment where management routinely guilt and blame staff for unachievable targets, unsustainable portfolio sizes and work allocation practices that lack transparency. Team leaders on 140k a year to do no work or provide any tangible benefits to the project. Just former workcover headkickers with dated mentalities. Wage theft routinely occurs. Always a changing reason for why you're doing 60 hrs a week and not being compensated appropriately.
