Pros

An ethical energy company in the Australian market

Cons

Change in structure and management has been the complete downfall of what was a brilliant place to work. Communication and support was non existent, always worried about the 'budget' when really, hiring and investing in their people would have supported the change required. EL hired and promised visa opportunities then never followed through with them. This was really sad to watch. Little to no sympathy or understanding given to individuals due to family issues from change of management. We all have personal things going on in our lives, but no grace was provided once the management structure changed; this was not the company I joined and loved.

More of a learn on the job training as the training you receive isn’t the most relevant until you start working

Pros

Good vision and decent business plan initially.

Cons

They used a demerger, that completely undid their original vision, to effectively offboard employees they didn't like but couldn't terminate legally. It's a shell of a company now with no vision and understandably no one cares enough to do their jobs properly anymore. They might say they don't screw customers, but they do screw employees. It was so disappointing seeing leadership run away to one side of the demerger and openly lie about their plans. I hope those people know that what they did was wrong and that it lingers with them for while. Also, exercise extreme caution with Visa sponsorship. Don't trust the promises. They'll promise sponsorship to incentivise you into roles and then they'll make you redundant (or offload you elsewhere) to avoid the cost.
