    AQWA
    AQWA is a privately run company dedicated to generating wonder and respect for the marine life of Western Australia. Our origins, business philosophy and practices are linked to the marine passion and entrepreneurial spirit of our owners.In the 1970′s, the founder of Coral World International, Morris Kahn, was scuba diving in the Red Sea with his son Benjie during a family holiday.Benjie had finished his dive and was heading back to the surface, however he was ascending too quickly. To stop his son from hurting himself, Morris swam after him and in the process damaged his own eardrums.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.

    Hillarys WA 6025Less than 1 year in the role, former employee
    It was good working as a cleaner for a short period but I would not consider for a long period.
    The good thingsThe location and environment was great, next to the ocean, the Marina Boat. Working with all the animals around was amazing.
    The challengesTeam culture needs to improve considerably. Waking up at 4:00 am to start at 5:00am was the most challenging of all.

    It had highs and lows in the short time I was employed.
    The good thingsLocation which I think the workplace uses to imply employees feel replaceable as many people would consider the location a dream job
    The challengesNot all but some managers. Profit driven with complete disregard for wellbeing and workload on their staff which I noticed to be prominent in the employees hired in customer facing roles.
