You will need a high degree of resilience. Most people will spend several months getting used to their highly non-intuitive and in my opinion extremely backward customer service IT system. This will involve a very high degree of frustration and stress for most people. This was not mentioned at all in the interviews. 

Given this very poor main system, I found there was not sufficient initial support and "buddying". 

I also found that management initially mouthed a lot about how inclusive and helpful/understanding they were but this quickly regressed into micro-management and hearsay-based assessments of people's performance (with window-dressing type due-process and consultation in my opinion).

Its been almost 7 years at City West Water. I started here just as a customer service Consultant and moved into different roles. Every department has its pros & cons but the most important thing in every department was the ability to learn something new about different department. Currently I work in the technical services department which deals with Plumbing permits and water connections. I have learned how important is work within guidelines set down by the VBA(Victorian Building Authority). I have learned how land information flows from one department of the government to another. Dealing with local council laws and EPA(Environmental Protection Agency) was the most challenging part working in this role.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Comfortable facilities. Close to transport

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Politics at exec level which completely disconnects managers from the reality of the program. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Quite good but we all feel like lemmings heading for the cliff

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chipping away on the next task in the project.

I've worked at the company for 3 months now and am so glad I made the move. Great people and culture, they really care about the land and environemnt and bringing in diverse people. Plus we get an extra day off once a month for our 'work life balance' so can't complain! Pays pretty well too!

A workforce with a sense of entitlment is a workforce who wont progress or advance. An incredible amount of tax payers money wasted on frivulous innitiatives and projects to tick boxes and give people something to do.

the management style needs to be reviewed across the board as there are a lot of management layers. there seems to be lack ownership as far as work responsibility is concerned. individuals are scared of making decisions.

While I only worked in this company for two weeks part of my work experience, while I worked here it was a great environment to be in. Everyone in this company is very welcoming and patient when teaching new employees.

i have build my confidence in working at this company, it has help me a lot in terms of character and being able to work professionally in admin field

great work life balance 
line of communications confusing
managers who flip flop  
great working environment 
good support for staff if you know where to look
