Pros

I was lucky as I worked close to home and I also worked with some great people but after the Auckland transition in 2010 it became a miserable place.

Cons

I worked within the Property team where the staff on the frontline were trying to do their best for their stakeholders (Parks, Leisure, Libraries, Community Arts and Development, Corporate Accommodation amongst others). Unfortunately Management - which is very much like an old boys club from the ACC days had no idea how to run a multi billion dollar portfolio - hence the long restructure followed by another one weeks later and its still a joke. Its a very unhappy place - I worked closely with people from different divisions over many years and their are many unhappy people. In the end I left!

Pros

Great culture and teamwork! It is a government organization with good team dynamics and culture. Allows each member to contribute. I will always go back to this company. HR Group are warm & welcoming.

Cons

There is nothing I can think of.

Pros

Public sector, thus decent job safety and good work-life balance.

Cons

When and where it counts, leadership seems unwilling to stick their necks out and stand up for their employees, and tend to prioritise most other things above employee development and other employee needs, which makes it very difficult to retain talent and to believe all the talk about valuing employees.
