Waste Services Officer

Jan 2023

Yulara NT 0872

Less than 1 year in the role

Fun while it lasted.

The good things

Met some friends there in 2008 that we are still great friends with today. Accommodation was good because we were in the managers Accommodation due to my wife's job position. Good discounts on the restaurants for being a employee.

The challenges

Remote and the heat are the biggest issues. Be prepared to be isolated in the town for months at a time and then when you do get away you get to go to Alice Springs as it is the closest town to Yulara which is around 5-6 hrs away. Been trying to get back there since we left but can never get anyone to make contact with us. Have rang the HR department directly and never get a response. They reckon they are desperate to get employees but with my wife being a Electrical Mechanic and myself being previously employed in the waste services division and more recently doing interstate MC work for the past 5 years apparently that's not good enough to get a look in there.

Front office manager

Sep 2022

Yulara NT 0872

Less than 1 year in the role

perfect for a young person trying to save up while building a hospitality experience. Dont go just to explore as you will get bored pretty soon, if you have a goal you will most definitely reach it there.

The good things

Peace and Quite, you can save alot as there is not many options to spend your money on, plenty of room to grow as the place is very remote and any opportunity is urs to take

The challenges

The remoteness of the place, not being able to get your usual food and drinks. Expensive IGA and food options. small community. challenges: Hopping mice and flies files flies, people warned us about the flies but it was way more than we expected. Working extended hours with no extra pay for managers.

Human Resources Officer

Aug 2021

New South Wales, Australia

1 to 2 years in the role, former employee

It was an experience that made me learn fast because the company push you to work a lot. There is no recognition.

The good things

The location of the Sydney office and helping the aboriginal community to find employment.

The challenges

There is no proper training, the management blames others, the HR team lacked structure and good role models. No recognition, no motivation from managers.
