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.
