Cons
My personal experience of employee treatment at Stockland: I was employed on a contract in a positon advertised as 'temp to perm'. After a few months of all going smoothly and genuinely being excited about the prospect of a longer tenure at the company I walked into my weekly 1:1 with my manager one day only to be read a pre-scripted message stating 'after assessment your skills have not been found to match requirements for your role... your employment at Stockland is terminated today'. I was then required to hand in my laptop and pass on the spot and walk out of the office - it was also lunchtime when many colleagues were using the office entrance and saw this happen. There had been no performance assessment conversation beforehand, nor indication that the work being delivered was consistently short of the mark. Additionally, this happened at end of Nov when the company would have known there is little/no chance of me securing other employment for next 1-2 months minimum given the time of year. Conveniently for the company out of my 8 month contract 6 months were probation where they were only required to give me 1 week notice if terminating (silly me for thinking this was simply an admin quirk which won't be used against me). If there were indeed compelling reasons to let me go before my full contract term (again, only 8 months), would it have killed them to give me at least an informal heads up? Salaries at this company are also nowhere near high enough for this type of treatment to be said as 'coming with the territory' (if that's even a justification)
