    North Sydney NSW 20605 to 6 years in the role, former employee
    its all about the doggie parks, roadside markets and a ton of smiles for the media photos, let alone the unfinished Pool, a Council in decline.
    The good thingsthe community is very engaged in the district and their neighbourhoods
    The challengesThe whole place is falling apart, its like working in a 1970s factory. They think a coat of paint makes everything new , just don't lean on anything

    The Trees section in general is extremely toxic! A lot of over-inflated egos. The proactive team was the exception.
    The good thingsThe guys on the proactive trees team were a pleasure to work with!
    The challengesHuman Resources and ALL middle management!!!

    Awesome organisation to work for
    The good thingsI loved working for NSC as they really know how look after their staff. They encourage ongoing training opportunities, offer great work life balance, support career development and provide free health care initiatives including flu vaccinations, skin checks and fitness classes to name a few. Overall an excellent organistion to work for.
    The challenges-The variety of technology
