Pros
Good food, cool hospitality staff, good cause
Cons
* Professional gas lighters and bullies
* Leadership appears more concerned with protecting the organisation’s image than supporting employees.
* Workplace culture can feel toxic, with gossip, favouritism, and cliques influencing decisions.
* Some staff members are treated differently depending on their relationships with management.
* Policies seem to be applied selectively rather than consistently.
* Employees may feel judged before being heard, with limited opportunity to provide their side of events.
* Trauma-informed care principles are promoted extensively, but at times their application can feel disproportionate or disconnected from common workplace interactions.
* Communication lacks transparency and important decisions can appear predetermined.
* Professional disagreements are not always handled constructively, creating an environment where staff may feel uncomfortable speaking up.
* Morale is negatively affected by inconsistent leadership and a perceived lack of fairness and accountability.
* Staff turnover and dissatisfaction are difficult to ignore
* They will get rid of you if you’re not a fan of AFL or not giving ‘leadership’ attention
