Pros

There are a few good people in the business that actually do the work, I would say I have met some awesome people at Reece.

Cons

Some people have been put in Manager positions purely for the years they been at Reece and the connections they have made with senior leadership. It is very frustrating trying to explain basic tasks to your manager when they should know this or they organize 5 meetings a week to know what we are doing (Micro Management style). The Bad Managers are very two faced, they are nice to your face but they talk bad behind your back, Managers need to support their team and help them grow, not bring them down. There is a massive lack of technical Knowledge.

Pros

- Satisfying work that directly makes a difference to the organisation. - Highly successful business. - Flexible work hours. - Good salary. - Upper-middle management are making an effort to improve the culture with the new ReeceTech brand & work-space consultations.

Cons

- Some petty & overly competitive colleagues who persistently bully others to satisfy their own egos. Management seem unwilling or unable to address this even when it's happening right under their nose. I know of 2 other staff who stated this as their reason for leaving. - Bad location; no public transport access combined with bad local traffic and inadequate parking, puts a drag on daily life. - Practically non-existent HR. On-boarding process was a shambles and I spent most of my time at Reece thinking there was no HR department, including the times I would have talked to them to resolve problems. - Work environment could be better; Burwood has plenty of space that's badly utilised.

Pros

Relaxed place to work, friendly people

Cons

Leadership lacks the commercial and strategic capabilities expected of an ASX100 company. Five ANZ CEOs in four years tells the story. Career pathway is stagnant. There are repeated examples of big-ticket investments that make little commercial sense, while core areas like tech, marketing, finance, strategy and operations are left underfunded. It’s hard to do great work when surrounded by GMs with no formal training, no sense of best practice, and a pattern of poor decisions.
