Manager
Oct 2026Docklands VIC 30083 to 4 years in the role, current employee
Great Perks, Some poor senior leaders, and HR (People and culture) team
The good thingsThe people at my level or below were generally very good to work with. Work was interesting
Good perks
The challengesSome quite senior leaders can be challenging to work with due to their leadership and communication styles, which can at times make collaboration difficult. The People and Culture team has been one of the least supportive HR functions I have encountered in my career. There is a widely held perception that the team holds significant influence within the organisation, has behaviours that can undermine trust, which may contribute to a reluctance among many to approach , challenge or question their decisions.

A great place for footy nuts to live out their career dream and be rewarded.
The good thingsThe staff were all pulling in the same direction, and whilst outside factors could be annoying, the team I worked with and around were excellent. Great job for a passionate footy head. Promotions from within were great, so was the remuneration.
The challengesObviously in every role there are leaders that maybe shouldn't be in their roles, but otherwise a great place to work.
