Cons
Senior management - Does not know how to effectively manage employees - At times seems like they make decisions based around what would look good on their resumes when they inevitably get let-go when there is a change in government - Have a poor attitude when people complain or try to bring up raises/promotions. Have the outlook that employees are "lucky to even have a job in Victoria" - When the good employees leave the company out of frustration, management can only tell them they "are making a big mistake and will surely regret it" instead of being happy for them - Constantly changing the goal posts of what is important. Employees get frustrated and feel like they have wasted their work by having to do everything from scratch over and over - Put out anonymous surveys asking what employees thought about the company and what improvements could be made. Employees were told they would be coming out every year. After negative reviews of management, they discontinued the surveys. - Put themselves way before employees when it comes to any sort of perk to the job or monetary raises Some employees are typical governmental workers. Bitter but they don't want to leave because of the pension. Everything is seniority based. Shift schedules, vacation timeslots etc.
