Pros
Gain experience with a multitude of different industries and innovations See businesses at many different stages, facing various challenges and opportunities Develop great networks within the WA business community Feel-good factor of helping start ups & SMEs Great team - feel that everybody in it for each other Management receptive to suggestions Strong focus on internal improvement Management backs staff With regard to cons below: January 2019 saw us go back to basics and do a full review of all areas of the business, as well as provide staff training and improved resources. Since this, salaries having been payed promptly, workloads have become more manageable, and the atmosphere has greatly improved. Reallocation of responsibility/authority has also minimized management bottlenecks and improved transparency. Will revisit this review in June, and hopefully improve the star ratings to 5* across the board.
Cons
End of 2018 was difficult - late salary payments & lots of deadlines strained the team. Has taken time to get correct systems, structures, processes and policies in place.
