Good Conditions as a government company, including RDO's, and often flexible working conditions. Decent pay for IT related work. Company has direct impact on a large number of people every day

Cons

Frustration with red tape Some staff difficult to work with Difficult to innovate There is no pay for performance culture - all staff on EBA get standard increases, so no ability to accelerate progression/pay beyond formal promotions Transport can have bad reputation

Pros

Other than the travel benefits there really is not anything that you cant get from any other employer.

Cons

There is no work life balance here. You work all hours of the clock. Example of starts time are 0214, 0319, 0112, 1458, 1952. You can work 12 days straight and have 2 days off. Also you can do both morning and afternoons in the same fortnight. You can work 1715 have a day off work say 0346 and back to afternoons the next day. Not recommended for those with families or those who want a social life.
