    If I didn't need to leave the job due to needing to move, I would continue working there as long as possible. Excellent and helpful team.
    The good thingsHumes in Darwin has a great office team. They love to banter and keep things light yet respectful. People are willing to help each other in any way possible, and they stress keeping a healthy work and home relationship. They treat their workers like they actually matter and aren't just replaceable positions.
    The challengesLearning to use the SAP programme was definitely challenging. The first learning stages were quite overwhelming - but once you're past that and get your head around things, it's a rewarding job.
