Discovery Parks

Discovery Holiday Parks provided me with numerous opportunities. I was not only able to hone and develop my administrative skills, but I was also able to see parts of Australia that I would never normally get to see: discovering beauty in all places.
Each role or assignment presented its own unique challenges; this was just the fun of it all. Being able to tackle each challenge, and rising above them all, was part of what made it rewarding. 
I developed friendships from all over Australia, which was both the most enjoyable and the hardest part about my job as I knew I would have to eventually move on to the next assignment. 
The company was founded, and is run, by an inspirational CEO; one who is full of energy who took time to know his staff.
It's now time though for the next chapter of my life and I'm extremely excited, and enthusiastic, to see what that is and where it takes me.

I worked with this company in the outbacks of Australia in a camp environment. My typical day was a variety of duties such as cleaning cabin rooms to a high standard. Setting up a laundry system and taking care of it and training in new staff. Radio control doing room checks and pre-arrivals and reporting to office for maintenance issues. Sweeping of yards in camp and keeping areas clean. Hosing down of cabins and vans. stocking of trolleys and linen room. Driving company car to pick up laundry bags and setting up of new laundry areas. Doing final cleans on new building during construction and setting up new rooms. I worked with a group of people of which also lived on camp so we all became very close as we had to live and work with each other for months.It was a life changing experience I will never forget.

Tried for a job at Adelaide park - I have extensive relevant experience and put forward a great application - I never heard from HR at all, despite me calling them several times, left messages, emailed them, but they couldn’t even be bothered to get back to me at all. HR should mean Human Resources, but I don’t know what this team does, because they have no Human skills at all. This leaves a very bad impression of their company overall, and senior execs should be concerned. I won’t bother applying with you again, and my family and friends will stay clear of your parks when we travel.

Starting early in the morning, doing housekeeping work in the different types of accomodation in the Park, normally finishing by 4-5 pm. After work we play table tennis with some workmates, we enjoy the swimming pool or we work out at the gym.
The weather has been the most difficult aspect of being here.

The most enjoyable part of the work is to meet people from different parts of the globe and share our lives experiences

What is the best part of working at the company?
Beautiful place and facilities expectable.  Undara Park management not expectations.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Can only speak regarding Undara... management drunken behaviour disgraceful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Disheartening.  Too many doing drugs and drinking every night

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Walking on egg shells.  Depended on managers mood for the day.

Townsville Discovery parks is the world’s worst place to work . Bad behaviour is encouraged by management. Bullying and harassment is so bad . The mangers wife and old receptionist run the whole place . It is pure corruption and when reported to HR department they cover things up and protect management. Stay well away from this place  for your own mental health and safety. You are given no breaks even when you work 8 hrs or more . Whole place dodgy . 

To be honest what I ve seen and lived in the camp where I first worked for discovery parks I hope is just an exception. 
I never been working in so hostile environment and very hard to approach. 
I ve been working  under my ethics and I ve been treated with no sense of justice. 
Still wish to approach the top head office to have a formal talk with them that might help to improve quality ,performance and company  values. 

I enjoyed meeting new people and cleaning the park. I enjoyed working with the staff and the team was excellent. The hours were perfect. I wish I still had that job. The reason I left is due to having children. I worked up till I was 5 months pregnant with my first child. And the staff really were great with the whole load. And changes as I slowly got bigger until it was time to hang up my tea towel. Now I'm eating to get back in the workforce.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Awesome team, friendly supportive each day different.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting the job done when short on team members 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lovely environment people are very friendly and kind 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Mostly very organised as the routine I have work well for me.

Very hard work but will keep you fit without needing a gym membership. Customers are great and the location was beautiful right on the beach. Interview process was very easy the paperwork from the HR Dept is what takes the longest to get that done then you can work. Holidays is the busiest times of course and trying to get cabins complete in time would never work unless alot of staff was employed if there isn’t you are on your own to get the job complete as fast as you can.
