Pros

Great pay and conditions. The work is very interesting. Flexible work hours.

Cons

Lack of job security. There has been continuous restructuring and uncertainty for the last 5 years, and that will continue for 5 more years. The austerity is costly and counter-productive. You want to buy a box of tissues? You'll need approval from the Chief Engineer.

Pros

Rostered Day Off, Good Money, Annual Leave at half pay effectively doubling annual leave entitlements

Cons

This company is autocratic, militaristic and is just plain evil. It hates its employees. It is built on giving orders to construction workers. It is still living in the 1950s when they took in ex military as workers and needed to discipline staff with iron fists. People are not grown, encouraged to grow or developed in any way. There is no leadership only military style dictatorship. Disa bilities and mental health issues seen as disciplinary issues rather than supported. Bullied by management and senior management and by construction workers. Nails placed under car tyres. Made to wear an adult device around neck as hazing ritual. Unprofessionalism everywhere. Do not work here as it will affect your mental health.
