Pros

None that come to mind, maybe coworkers

Cons

Worked for Ventia in QLD for about 5 years in total, the first 3 years were very toxic as middle management knew nothing about their trade (electrical) they weren't tradespeople, just "project managers" Then Convid came alone... I was an essential worker, working in unmanned automated buildings keeping the phones alive with perfect KPI's as well as a HSR under the WHS act. Worked during the first 10 months of c19 until the jabs came into existence. I questioned the jab mandates in my role as a HSR, asked questions about safety data etc and asked to be included in the consultation process as I was entitled to do so as a HSR. 2 days later stood down without pay. 'Safe and effective' I was told... went to fair work as I was protected under sections of the WHS legislation and was later laughed out. People call me an anti-vaxxer... I simply retort, have you taken your 7th booster? No? Welcome to the club haha!! Shi* money, shi* conditions, shi* management if you can look past all that, they're amazing to work for!

Pros

From the interview right through to onboarding and my first day, the experience has been really positive. Ventia’s Talent team were great to deal with communication was clear and consistent, and the online onboarding was super easy. On my first day, my manager was very thorough, made sure everything was set up properly, and walked me through a well planned week ahead. It was really nice to see that level of organisation and proactiveness from day one.

Cons

One small improvement could be offering candidates the option to provide their own police clearance if they already have a valid one, as this may help speed up the onboarding process
