Pros and cons of working at TasNetworks AU

Pros

  • Supportive of personal and professional development; Good support group and genuinely nice colleagues; Good range of business departments for choice of career.

  • Mentoring, people.

  • The people that you work with and the opportunities that are at your disposal.

  • The learning opportunities.

  • Autonomy and freedom.

Cons

    • The only negative would be the fact that the company is going through change currently after a recent merger. A lot of computer systems are changing as well as some of the processes, leaving a few people 'unhappy' which is slowing down workflow.

    • Restrictive in opportunities, very slow for work to progress.

    • Poor work ethic amongst a few employees.

    • The red tape and inability to effect change.
