Pros

Nice offices in Pyrmont, flexible working hours

Cons

There is not enough space for the cons. The management is disorganised and has no clear strategy or vision. This lack of strategy impacts on the entire business and ensures that the support functions are always being pulled in all different directions by personal agendas. Management has their favourites and provided you tow the party line you'll be fine. This permanently impacts on the sales team, as they are uncertain as to their roles and become indifferent to trying to achieve anything. The systems and processes are so broken that achieving any internal admin tasks is a challenge, and makes the company very difficult to work with from a customer point of view. Its dreary spending every day trying to apologise for known issues, and those issues are never addressed. The culture is better if you are a male, or identify as a male, for a female it was a challenge despite the supposed Women@TR, which only supported Women that were like those that ran Women@TR. The behaviour by some female colleagues was appalling and seemingly encouraged by the business. Commission payments can be questionable and need to be checked consistently, otherwise you will find that they are not paid. It is a place where your career goes to die.
