    Pyrmont NSW 20094 to 5 years in the role, current employee
    A rewarding place to grow your career, if you thrive in a dynamic environment and enjoy working with passionate, driven people.
    The good thingsWhat I appreciate most is the supportive environment and focus on personal growth. People genuinely care and are always willing to help, and leadership is approachable and encouraging. There are excellent opportunities for internal movement and career progression, and the commitment to flexible hybrid working makes it easier to maintain work-life balance. As a nice extra, lunch is provided by an onsite chef on office days, which adds to the positive experience.
    The challengesThe fast-paced nature of the work can be demanding, and at times, priorities shift quickly, which requires adaptability.

    Never again and will never recommend!!
    The good thingsTeaching me what I do not want in a work environment
    The challengesManagement staff are horrendous with support & micro-managing. It is unsaid but expected to work overtime with no compensation due to the size of the workload. Staff retention is horrible. They do not take any issues seriously and try to put it back on you. The salary is not a liveable wage.

    There are better agencies to work for that will actually help you and pay you a liveable wage.
    The good thingsThe people I met and connected with as friends
    The challengesThe management was the worst, the environment was so toxic. Do not recommend working for a family business especially when there is no HR. Being micromanaged every day. The staff retention is horrible and being paid horribly for the work you do.
