    What’s it like working at Telstra?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees value the supportive team culture at Telstra, working alongside good colleagues in a collaborative environment. The staff discounts, competitive salary and bonuses, and work/life balance with flexibility to work from home are appreciated benefits. Many find the work fulfilling and challenging, particularly in roles that help customers and keep Australia connected.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including varying management practices across teams with some experiencing micromanagement, dealing with frustrated customers who see retail staff as the face of the company, and challenging performance targets particularly in regional areas. The high-pressure environment and competitive career progression can be demanding, whilst the large organisational structure may feel impersonal at times.

    Be very careful wanting to work here.
    The good thingsDiscount really only good thing
    The challengesUnrealistic KPIs Pressure from higher management to hit targets even with constant price increases and expensive mobile plans. Constant threats of performance management but nothing happens and then to be replaced by someone from metro area that want needs to work regional for a Visa requirement. Regional stores get no help. Higher management rarely seen unless something isn't going right or your in a regional store. Be prepared if in a regional store you will be kicked out by very minor things so you can make way for another manager in a Metro store needing to be regional for a Visa requirement. No care for regional stores or staff members.
