After reading the reviews on here I was scepticle about this job but thought since they were a couple of years old I would at least go for an interview. The interview was really casual but the job sounded fun. I gave it a go and I have to say I loved it. The people you meet are great and I only worked for 3 months and saved enough to go travelling up the east coast. Nights out with the team are always a good laugh and I got pretty good at ping pong too!
Cons
Sometimes we finished around 8 but our manager always boaught us pizza if we were working far away. Not a career for me but a great job for travellers.
The strategy behind Aussie Famers is on the money. Supporting Australian Famers and manufacturers is a great brand story. The promise of convenience and taking the confusion out of knowing where your food comes from ticks a lot of consumer boxes.
Cons
The management team could not organize a beer in the pub! The lack of communication/ coordination between departments destroys every advantage the 'Support Aussie Producers' strategy potentially can deliver.
It is a very head office centric business, so unless you are working in the Clayton head office, you have no voice and will never be heard.
