Pros

Choose the days you’re available. Good for students. Also good hourly pay.

Cons

I worked at the call centre in Mascot, Sydney and this place is a toxic death trap. While working here for a few years, I was sexually harassed by an older man. A LOT of young women get sexually harassed here by older men and management doesn’t do anything about it unless you file a formal complaint with HR which is a long and draining process. The managers on oztam are so toxic and there is a bullying culture. You get screamed at for taking too long in the bathroom even if you’re unwell. You get screamed at for going over your break by 1 minute. Managers will scream and swear at employees while others are on calls with respondents. I was bullied by multiple oztam managers while here. You get sent home if you don’t perform well, and as a result you won’t get paid because the pay is hourly. I struggled to pay rent at times. While there were a couple of pros, I don’t recommend this place. There are way better part time/casual roles you can do while studying. The fact that some people have been there for 6+ years actually blows my mind. I guess those are the managers that literally watch YouTube and Facebook videos all day.

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
