Good for a IT newbie but that’s it

Service desk analyst/ technology and digital support partner

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Great for learning and kick start your career, that’s it. One of the most underpaying co-operatives in NZ

Cons

Some senior level leaders can be very rude and looking down at you. Promotions or opportunities are based on personal connection rather than skills and qualifications. They think Farmlands is their own company or a mortgage.

Incompetent leadership, bullying and very little care for staff. Lots of talk...not so much action...

Nothing I can think of in their current environment

Cons

No respect for their experienced people. Prefer to listen to consultants who cycle through the revolving door offering little value.
