Pros

Very well known Australian brand which can be leveraged into other roles.

Cons

The ELT has made a once thriving enthusiastic culture into a competitive wankfest. The incessant need to one up eachother for their Welcome To Countries has become intolerable and their personal desire to push this woke agenda has become a key point of disgust for much of the workforce. Yet they wonder why ELT has the lowest engagement scores across the business? In addition to this there is a very clear "ivory tower" as the CEO has surrounded herself with "YES" people, very seldom letting in opposing viewpoints. She has become too involved in the weeds of work rather than creating a high level vision for the future of Flybuys.

Pros

There is a stark contrast in how different teams operate here. The Australian employees and leadership are fantastic—they are professional, non-toxic, and delegate tasks fairly based on your actual profession and skill set. Working with them was the only positive aspect of my time here.

Cons

Unfortunately, a specific faction of the leadership team creates an incredibly toxic and draining environment. The disparity in management styles is jarring and creates a culture of severe anxiety for those lower on the corporate ladder. Specific issues include: Unprofessional Conduct: Certain leaders will actively belittle you in team meetings and use public humiliation as a management tactic, making employees a laughing stock. Hostile 1-on-1s: The mockery doesn't stop in public; it continues behind closed doors during 1-on-1 meetings. Weaponized Workloads: While the Australian team sets you up for success, other managers will intentionally assign impossibly hard or irrelevant tasks specifically designed to force you out of the company. Skewed Ratings: I highly recommend taking the 4- and 5-star reviews with a heavy grain of salt, as there is a strong internal push to compensate or incentivize positive feedback to cover up the reality of the turnover.
