Pros

You get a staff Opal card

Cons

Working with people that take the job way too seriously, lot's of people in the job that think they're handling the nuclear codes when in reality it's just standing around & raising a flag every few minutes You'll be put on a part time contract, working 4 hours a day M-F with no progression to full time for at least 2-3 years (Don't believe what they say about earning $1,200 a week, you'll earn $600 a week most weeks) Rotating shift work means you'll be starting anywhere from 6am to 6pm, which would be fine on FT hours not so much when you're waiting until 6pm at night to start only for 4 hours work

Pros

Average Employee Benefits Ok Wages Most if the staff and managers are nice

Cons

They don’t care you have life outside work. They will put you to work at random stations. You work on a rotating roster so your body clock is always wrecked. No flexibility at all. Also if you wanna work part time, the shifts are a joke. Even though part time is only 20 hours a week, you still gotta go to work for 5 days and do 4 hour shifts per day, considering the travel time as you are at random locations all the time, its definitely not worth it.
