    Extraction & Discardment of human resources..
    The good thingsBoral is an enterprise with presence across Australia.
    The challengesThe new management is only looking at the bottomline at the cost of losing its core assets - the Human resources. The race to save costs by running untenable projects that cause burn out of its employees is ignored. The working conditions are bad enough and even the experience of leaving the company and moving out is not so easy.. departing employee is not even offered a proper exit interview nor the pay out figures discussed appropriately causing it stressful, which only bares the way the employees are treated..

    1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Overall I enjoyed working here and was taught a lot.
    The good thingsThe opportunity to advance if you show a willingness are there. Some Management are great to work with while others are not.
    The challengesPressure to perform well in this role are sometimes not worth it. Better acknowledgement from superiors for the role you perform would be good considering the hours usually worked and what is expected from you.
