    What’s it like working at Environment Protection Authority South Australia?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at the Environment Protection Authority South Australia appreciate the flexitime arrangements and consider the office and work environment to be good enough. They note a relaxed culture with friendly, helpful, and approachable colleagues, and there are great staff trying to do a hard job as well as they can.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as a perception that management could be more supportive, concerns that the organisation is no longer science-based but purely a revenue raising entity for the government, a number of employees who may have higher opinions of themselves than they ought, and issues with open plan noise levels.

    The good thingsFlexitime is great, office and work environment is good enough.
    The challengesManagement is poor at best. Organisation is no longer science-based but purely a revenue raising cash-cow for the government. Large number of employees have higher opinions of themselves than they ought.
