Unless you need this job to stay in the country, or get real world experience - not worth your mental health. - Product/Marketing aussieBum Employee Review

Pros

Global brand recognition (that's about it) Occasional sausage rolls or candy the owner puts out in the kitchen for sharing A toaster

Cons

I'm not sure if there has been prior investment in the building brand value, and because so the owner Sean Ashby claims that the brand where it is now it has completely been 'organic' (as claimed). The team consists of mostly these categories of people: 1. Those that don't speak English and need a job to stay in the country 2. Freshly graduated students who need experience on paper as their 'first job' I've also observed a continued trend and patterns of hiring 'yes' people that will say yes to all of Sean's irrational and unpredictable requests. There is also no strategic plan - but erratic tactical plans without actually having a proper segmentation or targeting in place. Basically, the place is a mess.

Pros

None, not worth working here

Cons

The management approach is negatively affecting team morale and mental well-being. Leadership roles should be held by those who foster a supportive and respectful culture, rather than contributing to a toxic environment

Pros

Great management, friendly staff and do not put as much pressure on you. Always try and even out the workload for the casuals so they all get hours when not so busy

Cons

No downsides as it was a great place to work at
