Reviews
I work in a P&C Ops Analyst role where I assist with payroll duties and I also have been lucky enough to engage in projects like our recruitment ATS development and operator recruitment campaign.
I mostly handle the BAU (business as usual) tasks in cyber security. Tickets and security assessments.
I enjoy my role in sustainability and my day to day tasks however I do feel sometimes I lack enough work to keep me going on a daily basis

Pros and cons of working at Viva Energy Australia
Pros
Everyone is super friendly and is happy to help in as much capacity as possible.
The work culture and environment are amazing. There is a fair work-life balance.
There are so many opportunities to learn and develop, it's just a matter of taking them or asking.
We are known for being an employer of equal opportunity for women and I feel that you can see even walking around the office how diverse our workforce is.
We do tree planting and sustainable events as well as volunteering days like preparing meals with the big umbrella to combat the cost-of-living crisis.
Cons
The lack of consistency in daily routines can be discombobulating if you don't have good systems for managing your time and stress.
There is a steep learning curve as the business is complex and requires some specialised knowledge.
Beautiful office in a good location but there are too many employees for the number of desks.
The lack of time between communicating changes and implementing them.
Sometimes there aren't documented processes which can be hard for new starters.
