Toxic culture

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.

The doers are underappreciated

Recommend

Pros

Immediate colleagues are smart and helpful; generous time off benefits (though workload is making it more difficult to leverage time off); great deal of flexibility to work remotely (on some teams)

Cons

It was a good place to work, but has gone downhill the past couple years since Millward Brown management took over. Hard work goes unappreciated. It is commonplace to put in 55 to 60 hour weeks without any acknowledgement of the sacrifices you make. Management focus is on sales, without any thought to how we will actually execute the work. Even employees in non-sales positions are expected to drop everything to help clinch a sale. Salary increases are minuscule, if they happen at all. Bonus plans only exist for the executive team, who as far as the rest of us can tell, offer no value-add.

Pros

- Good reputation (good for the CV) - Opportunity to work with high profile clients (Google, BBC, UEFA etc.) - Hard-working, nice group of people

Cons

- Endless restructuring, allocating huge amounts of resources on internal change with little benefit for internal or external stakeholders - Some people cry at work, and that's not only tolerated among junior members but mirrored by their direct line managers - Firmly stuck in old-school thinking on research, creating undue stress for junior members turning the wheel and ultimately producing unsatisfactory work for the client - Senior management acknowledges none of the major issues, claiming there is a strong, supportive working culture, and instead, as one senior member put it, they "bury [their] head in the sand"
