frontline support
Aug 2026Southbank VIC 30061 to 2 years in the role, former employee
On the first day I felt it wasn't the right fit for my values & beliefs; I still gave them a shot.
The good thingsPockets of people are hugely, helpful accommodating and supportive. Work Perks are great and the operational staff are simply fantastic. Maybe I should have sought out a role in their operations environment instead...?
The challengesLeadership is a problem. Unfortunately, the inexperienced leaders enjoyed the daily tousle of demanding everything their way, no deviations, no innovation, no camaraderie. You'll be fine working here as you have no spine or enjoy being micromanaged. However, this one team I joined was not a great fit for people who hold true to values, or who thrive with autonomy and want to lead with influence with embedding style and approach.

The work culture is the worst I have ever encountered. It takes the word 'toxic' to a new level.
The good thingsPeople.
Modern office.
The challengesThe work culture is challenging. HR is constantly occupied due to the high staff turnover. Although many good people work within the organisation, they are often overseen by managers who lack essential leadership and soft‑skill capabilities. The continual cycle of staff leaving and new employees starting creates a persistent lack of experience across the workplace. The ‘blame game’ others have mentioned is very real and contributes to an overall unpleasant environment. It’s telling that many staff choose to leave even without another job lined up, which speaks volumes about how difficult their experience has been and their urgency to move on.
