Teamwork: "There is a strong sense of teamwork and comradery when working and keeping the place operating."
Company Benefits: "Fully paid private health insurance for you and your immediate family... a very high level of cover."
Corporate Social Responsibility: "The renewable project at Tropicana is something I love and value about AGAA."
Cons
Lean Workforce Impacting Graduate Program: "Lean workforce making it difficult to follow graduate rotations."
Feeling Undervalued: "Many aspects of my job feel like just being given the 'busy tasks' or jobs nobody else would want to do."
Challenging working hours: "Work a minimum of 12 hours per day as per the contract, with some small amounts of overtime if needed."
Unstructured nature of the graduate program and being constantly short-staffed.
Minimal support and lack of guidance from the mentor/supervisor.
