    Stressful, unsupportive.
    The good thingsThere are some nice people who unfortunately are not treated well.
    The challengesThis is a very toxic organisation to work for. Staff behaviour and culture is very unprofessional with high staff turnover is indicative of this. Micromanagement is rife.

    Toxic culture from top down. Low pay. Stay away
    The good things No such good thing. Toxic from top to bottom
    The challengesThe company has a very unhealthy work culture. There is no formal HR structure, and as a result, people often act without accountability. Thelead, in particular, displays unprofessional and unreliable behavior.

    Frankston VIC 31991 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Toxic environment from the senior management level down and lack of support when asked for.
    The good thingsAt the time I was employed there, my direct line Manager was an amazing person and boss to work for. Always felt supported and the Manger had your back. The freedom of working alone during applicable duties.
    The challengesThe salary range for Pool Service Technicians is well below what the average of $80k that a large number of other companies pay. Keep in mind they also will try to have your contract salary inclusive of Superannuation payments. Not on top of your salary.

    Not good the pay is bare minimum and shifts get cut after a few months and you will be let go or kept on stand by and expected to be available.
    The good thingsShop managers are good but anyone above that is not good and out of touch with staff and customers and treat people badly. Really nice work mates. Every day can be a little bit different and the work isn't hard.
    The challengesConstant ticket changes and waste of paper and time constantly throwing out paper to put slightly different paper all the time. Heavy lifting can be to much and not safe when no one available to help and it is busy. Always very hot or very cold in the shop floor for the regular staff especially in winter like now. Don't give proper breaks.

    Management creates difficult working environment.
    The good thingsSome great regular customers. Service is more old-fashioned, with opportunities for interesting one-on-one conversations with all kinds of people.
    The challengesPoorly organised, unprofessional management and high staff turnover. Best suited to people who do not take themselves or their job seriously.

    On your feet
    The good thingsLearn a broad range of useful knowledge of all products in the store, as well as some hands on skills are developed.
    The challengesAll learning is on the spot. There's is no initial product training before the first shift. Learning about the products initially is overwhelming, and necessary to keep up the high customer service.
