Don't even contemplate working for AHPRA

Pros

The money, the work matters, and the colleagues at lower levels are brilliant. Lower level staff are committed to the purpose and there is a 'we are in the trenches together' mentality that bonds junior and mid level staff

Cons

Management are abhorrent. They use your personal circumstances against you to suggest you cant do your job ( things that should command compassion like the death of immediate family and ongoing health conditions). There is no sensitivity and a toxic culture of bullying. The staff that stay are there because a) the pay is good b) they've been bullied so long they dont realise how bad it is compared with other workplaces and they lack confidence to leave and c) they actually care about the reason for ahpras existence and the work that is done.

Pros

Small number of colleagues are decent people

Cons

- No opportunities for progression or promotion - Bullying, discrimination, nepotism, favouritism, micromanagement, disrespectful behaviour, harassment rife throughout the company - Little done to combat bullying even after a scathing company wide survey revealed that bullying was a major issue - responses to the staff survey have been minimal and piecemeal -Toxic people in positions of power making the workplace toxic - managers hiring staff and creating siloed business units outside the organisation structure - Nepotism resulting in managers protecting the under-qualified, inexperienced employees they bring in, when they avoid work or misuse company resources and work hours. If you speak up, you become a target for bullying and harassment - breaches of privacy by HR: confidential bullying disclosures disseminated to managers (including those that were identified as bullies) without consent - positions appear to be reserved for favourite "in crowd" managers after they resign, so that they may choose to return if their new job does not pan out. New employees fill these positions on contract basis - professional development and pay increases minimal to non-existent (excuses always made about why pay cannot be increased) - staff are expected to satiate perceived "important people" such as executives and their lackeys, as well as board members/chairs/committee members

Pros

-CBD location - Friendly concierge

Cons

- A culture of rampant bullying; and people who see their colleagues get bullied are too scared to speak out for fear of personal ramifications (such as getting excluded/bullied themselves, having their contracts not renewed etc.) - Incompetent managers who offer lip service and are "yes" people to their managers. - Good people, once they are the targets of managers, have no chance of defending themselves and can watch their career go nowhere. - Favourites and the "in-crowd" get all the opportunities for promotion seeeennd the cycle of bullying and yes culture continues. - Biggest problem is that no action is ever taken against management who aren't necessarily bullying staff directly BUT INDIRECTLY. Management do not realise that indirect bullying is still a form of bullying.
