Pros

You meet some good people. They make things bearable sometimes. The kids look up to you and you can really make their day.

Cons

Wow. Where to start? Prepare to be constantly berated for making mistakes even though you’re not properly trained. The family managing the business is well knowned in Canberra for their dodgy ways. They always barely skate by employment legalities with the way they operate, but they try hard to brainwash you into thinking they’re doing you a favour by hiring you. They recently massively screwed over a longtime employee because they spoke out against management. We all think it. This employee actually said it and for that, the owners went on a brutal attack against the employee and their young children. Ask around about this family before you join. Not worth your mental health if you’re not as despicable as they are. They’re also casual racists and ableists.
