The company is professional, the working environment is positive and the colleagues are accomplished but incredibly kind.

Personal Assistant
Feb 2016
Personal Assistant
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
5 to 6 years in the role, current employee
I have been here for 5 years and have had a great experience.
The good things
The team I work in is very friendly. We have a great group and are very social outside of work. They all treat you fairly and it is a pleasure to come to work.
The challenges
Some of the other PAs here are very lazy and they get away with it. If you work hard you do not get thanked for it, which is unfortunate when you work three times as hard as other people.
