Pros
- Relatively decent salary - If you do like over-time, there is an abundance - Always work in pairs, so you're never really bored. - No KPI, which means you basically find your own work and there is no pressure to find breaches. - Flexible work times - Some decent opportunities to move around to different teams.
Cons
- Over-time feels forced and rostered automatically to you at random. If you deny or reject these over-time due to family or other commitments, it feels as though its frowned upon and looked down on. - Really poor communication between Seniors / Managers and staff. E.g. last minute over-time cancellation, but no email or message to provide heads up. - Some leaderships including Seniors and Managers have been there for a while, and thus get away with a lot of breaches, but get away with it due to their rank and longevity in role. - Seniors and Managers are not open to change or potential process implementation to create less manual work. - In my experience, it is hard to have a laugh or joke with colleagues, as colleagues will dob on you for things discussed in private between the two. - On surface level, everyone seems friendly and produce a team work environment. However, diving and looking a little deeper, everyone just has their best interest at heart and are willing to throw colleagues under the bus for their own benefit. - Adding onto the over-time, there are really busy periods such as Vivid and Christmas where again, automatic rostering of over-time for everyone. Rejection or communicating to Managers that these cannot be completed will be frowned upon and not taken lightly.
