Employees at Mount Alexander Shire Council appreciate the flexible work arrangements, supportive environment, and development opportunities available. They also enjoy working in the lovely town of Castlemaine, and some reviews mention a conscientious and competent CEO and senior management group.
However, there are potential challenges, such as concerns about poor management and lack of support in certain departments, as well as poor culture within the organisation, with issues such as a revolving door of people and a lack of support for remote work during COVID-19. Some employees also find it challenging to overcome bureaucratic hurdles within the local government setting, and there are instances where employees felt their position description did not match the actual job they were doing.
