    Large company with many opportunities but still encompasses a good family business feel.
    The good thingsFriendly environment, professional but relaxed atmosphere, Im not afraid to be myself here, positive working relationships with those around me. Dynamic business operating in many industries leads to continual opportunities to grow and learn which is supported by my manager.
    The challengesIts such a large organisation that occasionally maintaining synergies in the business approach to performing work can vary from business to business however, this is also a strength as it supports uniqueness and diversity in operations.

    Inviting Culture and Great company for long term Growth
    The good thingsThere are a lot of positives in my experience of working at Ahrens. Coming straight from Uni with no previous full time job experience I was given an opportunity where I could develop and grow within my role . This has certainty been the case with managers giving the time to discuss future growth and areas of development which has benefited significantly. The business / working environment across the multiple sites I have visited are awesome the family and inviting culture definitely make working more enjoyable.
    The challengesAt times short time frames to complete work can be a challenge
