Pros

Working within communities and with clients. Highly autonomous environment so you have to be self motivated.

Cons

Leadership, especially the middle man & execs need a serious overhaul. Being treated like children, micromanaging & very poor recruitment decisions. Staff retention rate is abysmal and there’s a reason for that but unfortunately they aren’t willing to look at reasons why. Defensiveness & poor ability to interact with humans. Zero career progression unless you are perceived to be easily manipulated. KPIs are very difficult to obtain as it relies on the clients motivation & ability. If you don’t meet that KPI be prepared to get raked over the coals.

Pros

Flexibility to work autonomously from home and opportunity to make a difference for people leas fortunate. Good pay compared to similar roles. Thats it.

Cons

P&C are an absolute nightmare to deal with. Good operators are thrown under the bus regularly and demoralised, whilst poor workers are a protected species. Front line teams aren't given the respect and appreciation they deserve and are treated as minions. Never have I experienced toxicity induced trauma like it.

Pros

Some of the co-workers were kind and supportive, but that’s about the only positive thing I can think of.

Cons

The workplace culture is extremely toxic. I was continually harassed and discriminated against to the point where I felt I had no choice but to leave. I would have definitely had a case with Fair Work given the severity of the treatment I endured, but I decided it was easier to walk away. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the only one — many employees experienced similar treatment. The turnover rate here is shockingly high, and management’s style is built on micromanagement and constant questioning rather than trust or respect.
