Must be able to do multitask. Slow movement in salary adjustment yearly. Annual leave fixed and will not increase. Not able to get benefit even your work required it.

Pros

No pros to speak of.

Cons

Chaotic management and greenhorn CEO with the Midas touch in reverse has created a demoralising workplace. Australians aren't good enough for this company - they much prefer employing cast-off poms with neo-colonialist pretensions. Most of the good people, along with quite a few senior managers who were useless, are gone - the whole family got thrown out with the bath water. Demoralising workplace with no growth opportunities for talented and loyal people.
