Employees at UON appreciate their colleagues, noting that people are great to work with both in the field and in direct working relationships. The company provides training and development opportunities, with employees receiving support in gaining qualifications and furthering their skillset. The 8x6 day shift roster is valued as being family friendly.
However, there are some potential challenges, including management practices that could be improved in terms of decision-making and staff management. There can be a disconnect between city-based and site-based staff, with on-site employees feeling that office staff may not fully understand field requirements. Some employees have observed that career advancement may favour personal connections, and FIFO conditions differ from industry standards in areas such as meal provisions. Additionally, facilities could be improved, including workspace conditions and workshop temperature control.
