Pros

-Hold activities to try and make it a fun work environment e.g Halloween dress up, pets visit the office on Fridays, Aus Day BBQ etc. -Uniform makes it easy to dress for work (Fridays are casual however).

Cons

-targets set so commission is almost impossible to achieve and their value has diminished over time as well. -some procedures are frustratingly convoluted and leave staff micro-managed yet they still don't get improved after much feedback from staff. -no career progression really -constantly stressful as the incoming calls don't stop but emails and admin must be kept on top of. Any overtime done to catch up on emails is unpaid as it's seen as "poor time management" even though the shift physically does not leave time for all duties. -past history of management not stepping in and taken over during legitimate escalations on occasion which makes it both disappointing and difficult for team members. -meagre salary -team members have misquotes/errors deducted from their commission -have to work with an awfully slow antiquated computer booking system

Pros

I have been working with the company for a number of years now and have worked in several departments. Sandy the owner makes a real effort to know everyone and has a personal connection with all staff. There are constant opportunities for staff to be up-skilled and they are big on transferable skills. The industry can be tricky at times with constant change and lots of variation but having support staff to provide updates and proper coaching through some of these changes is a big help. The company understands they are not just assisting with pets but a family members and it is very rewarding to hear from clients once their pets have arrived safe and sound and all settled in. On Fridays we have 'Furbaby Friday's' where we are allowed to bring our pets into the office on a rotating roster which makes it a happy place to work and by this you get to interact with other staff from different departments. Lots of fun on the office and sales incentives.

Cons

During peak season it can be very busy with the number of calls received in all departments. In the past have sometimes felt that the company has been understaffed but the last few years have felt they are more prepared and have a higher headcount.
