Pros

Some great people work there - really passionate about helping people and really working hard to ensure that those less fortunate than themselves have an opportunity to improve their lot. The "good news stories" used to be amazing.

Cons

The CEO was "asked to resign" and the whole company was told exactly those words. How humiliating that could have been if everyone hadn't realised what was happening. He was brought on board to change the culture which had been essentially an "old boys club" - bullying, old school nepotism and witch-hunting. Sadly the new CEO proved to be too popular and the previous "architect" of the toxic culture didn't like to see what was being achieved when people started to love coming to work and love being told what a great job they were doing. Command and control now reigns again. People being ordered back into the office when the government has recommended that people continue to work from home. Line of sight, distrusting mgmt. People want to leave and will leave. You've already got really high turnover - it's not going to improve anytime soon unless you get someone with some emotional intelligence to run the company

Thank you for your review. We agree with you that there are great people working for us and together we help get some of the most disadvantaged people in society into the workforce. It’s work that we’re very proud of and makes us want to come to work each day. I’m sorry to read that your experience at Angus Knight wasn’t all it should have been. We are in a state of transition at the executive level which will settle down soon. They are aware of your feedback. This hasn’t affected our front line services and we continue to be number one in Australia for getting people jobs. If you would like to talk to me about your experience, then please reach out to me at christopher.brooks@angusknight.com.au or call me on 0459 451290. Chris, Chief People Officer
