    What’s it like working at Wild Desert?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees consistently praise their colleagues and rig crews, describing them as great to work with and creating a supportive, positive team environment. Many appreciate the opportunity to work in remote locations and experience the outback and desert wildlife. The up-skilling and learning opportunities are valued, and several employees note that pay rates are good at Wild Desert.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as management communication being inconsistent with frequent changes in direction and a lack of clarity on projects. The roster structure means being away from home and family can be difficult, particularly for those with young children. Working hours can be long, especially on camp move days in hot and demanding conditions, and some employees have noted that head office can be cliquey with occasional communication issues between departments.

    I was offered this role but had to move 6 hours away from my residence. They offerered me a full time position but only required me for 6 weeks. Don't move out here for a role for anybody contemplating working with this company.
    The good thingsFree Lunch, No Traffic to work, Short Drive to Town but there's not much there anyhow.
    The challengesPoor IT systems in terms of their custom configuration, low standards and you will be expected to know all of the workflows in the software CRM which is on excel style spreadsheets. It's a joke, Office Staff are often condescending and rude.
