    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at the State Library of Western Australia appreciated the reliable government salary and generous pay. Some also enjoyed the studio environment and found the management to be supportive.

    However, there were potential challenges raised, including the need for management changes to address workplace issues, concerns about an engrained public service culture contributing to performance problems, and indications of the mistreatment of staff and a potentially toxic workplace. Additionally, the scheduling could be an issue for certain roles, with limited flexibility in swapping shifts.

    It was a smooth and interesting experience in my career
    The good thingsI used to work in the studios, digitising and restoring sound old tape recordings. I love this job, the studio environment and the management was very supportive. Actually, I would love to continue there. It's just my family circumstances that I left.
    The challengesProbably the only thing was shifts. I couldn't swop a day or two with my colleges, I had to keep with the same shift the whole week. And for a mother of 7 y.o. it was a problem.

    If you enjoy mediocrity, doing the least amount possible and running to the union for perceived slights, SLWA would be a perfect fit.
    The good thingsGenerous pay and excellent location.
    The challengesEngrained public service culture coupled with stagnant management means SLWA is riddled with poor performing staff.
