Pros
-Brisbane seems to be the happiest out of the eastern seaboard branches. I genuinely enjoy those i work with, and the work i do, most of the time.
-Brisbane now has some more exec presence, which makes it feel a little more connected to HQ in sydney.
-beer, stocked lunch fridge (i.e you can halve your grocery bill by eating breakfast and lunch on the work dime), coffee once a month, 10 min massage once a month, social events (free) relatively often (mini golf, escape rooms, teppanyaki dinner),
- access to Employee Share Scheme, company is not yet on ASX, and is doing very well - the shares always go up.
-I would say some departments are fantastic to work in and others arent, we all do such different tasks that some depts are overworked while others are totally fine. I thoroughly enjoy my entire team - senior management included. respect them too, which is important.
-beating the competition, so company will only get busier and bigger.
Cons
-all the freebies are neat, but I'd rather a pay rise tbh.
-its common for operations staff to work back 30mins. They seem to expect if an order is placed at 4:59pm it will be handled; most businesses would deal with it the next morning. same for the settlements team - they do their thing all day, then instead of handling the paperwork the next morning, they do it after 5pm.
-pay more
