    What’s it like working at Opal?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Opal appreciate their colleagues, describing them as wonderful, friendly, and supportive. The work/life balance is good, with flexible management and reasonable shift rosters. Many find the work meaningful, particularly in caring for aged residents, and value the education sessions that provide opportunities to gain knowledge across different areas.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including management that could benefit from additional training and clearer communication, with some noting a lack of direction and recognition. Staffing levels during busy shifts can be challenging, and maintaining adequate staff numbers would help reduce workload pressure. Training could be more comprehensive to better match role expectations, and career progression can be limited, particularly in engineering roles. Some employees have also noted that workplace culture could be improved in certain departments.
