Employees at Essendon Football Club value the positive relationships and great team environment, as well as some of the good perks that come with the job. There is flexibility that allows for a good work/life balance for some employees. The club's history and big events like Anzac Day are also seen as benefits.
However, the workload can be relentless in this high-pressure industry, with long hours required at times. While work/life balance is good for some, it can be poor for others like those on rotating shifts. There are also perceived issues with leadership and management according to some reviews. Additionally, a lack of skills development opportunities beyond upper management was flagged, and the workplace culture was described as more geared towards younger employees than families.
