    Dismal standards set by management - needs clean start
    The good thingsOpportunity to make a difference to abandoned animals' lives
    The challengesCompletely skewed management team, lacking professionalism and empathy. Unacceptable standard of care with the animals. Majority of staff are well-intentioned, but are largely voiceless in their cry to help better the lives of animals in the care of the council pound.

    Great culture will strongly recommend BCC to all those who live within close proximity.
    The good thingsThe management is clued in and very professional The CEO in particular is enigmatic, has a clear vision and warm towards other employees, this I feel trickles top down within each department. The infrastructure within the main office buildings is top
    The challengesThere is just one, the pay. The pay is a lot lower than anywhere else I have seen in Sydney.
