Old Boys Club

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Great superannuation, sickness and leave benefits

Cons

This is very much an "Old Boys Club" where "Old Boys" means "Men wearing a Police Uniform". If you are not a uniformed officer, your are looked down on and treated like dirt. Very change-resistant environment, very top-heavy and filled with paper pusher roles, instead of people to do the work. Non-uniformed staff are consistently paid on lower levels than they are in any equivalent role in other Government Departments. Blatant bullying occurs and nothing is done to stop or solve it.

Pros

OK pay, good superannuation if you joined a long time ago, free uniform, free transfers.

Cons

Where to start. 2 x restructures in last 5 years that have reduced output, lack of communication, no innovation, the commissioner has surrounded himself with 'his' people or Captains picks. A lot of corruption starting to creep in internally, evidence of this in amount of Captains picks that are currently stood down. No direction at all in the QPS. The central functions love it as they don't have to do any work. Regional workers (front line) are struggling. Lack of resources, lack of staff, lack of direction, bad management, front line staff expected to relieve non-critical roles when it should be the other way. You will not have any opportunity unless you stay in Brisbane or close to a regional office. A lot of Police roles were removed in last restructure and the result is as expected. No one knows what is going on. Crime IS increasing, regardless of lies told to the public. They talk the 'Our people matter' mantra, but most of the Assistant Commissioner level and above don't even bother to attend these functions.

Pros

Good job security. Interesting and rewarding work.

Cons

Terrible leadership culture. Politically correctness has gone crazy. Affirmative action is destroying productivity and crushing spirits.
