Pros

- Great Melbourne Office Location

Cons

- Role was completely different to advertising, they use glossy start-up titles but once in the role, I quickly realised people were either selling kids parties or rostering entertainers - A very cliquey senior management team who only promote people they are friends with. This is evident with the chief operations putting her two best friends in senior positions despite lack of qualifications and people skills needed to manage teams. - Incredibly poor pay, I was severely underpaid despite praise for performance and was always told how much I was valued but worked there 2.5 years with no salary increase. This was evident across all other employees. - A lot of wool being pulled over the eyes of suppliers, employees and more. Please read into things carefully when being engaged by these people - Egotistical owner who likes to think of himself as an Elon Musk type of entrepreneur - One time I brought up concerns to my manager and then was pulled in and had to explain myself in front of the four company directors who then belittled me and took none of my notes on board, saying that my valid feedback had made them angry - Very uninspiring, a boring place to work where career progression was never evident - constant updates about securing funding and then just running until dry again, often meaning CEO had to raise more funds again, creating a lot of internal pressure

Pros

Everyone is so welcoming and wants you to succeed. They believe in strong teamwork and try their best to keep everyone motivated and fresh while working. Amazingco really cares about their work and the customers who participate in our experiences.

Cons

I work remotely so I have not met my coworkers in person but I am able to communicate through video meeting and others online forms so it is not hard to get in contact with coworkers. I have not really found any cons working at Amazingco!

Pros

Great opportunity for growth if you stick with the company for a while. I was there for 2 years and they listened to my interests and I got the opportunity to join teams that I was interested in. Fully remote company!

Cons

The sales and event coordinator role is pretty much all customer service. So lots of phone calls and emails.
