About TasNetworks

The state-owned corporation is responsible for supplying power to a quarter of a million Tasmanian homes and businesses. TasNetworks also owns and operates telecommunication infrastructure to “enable safe and efficient operation of the electricity system”.

Pros and cons of working at TasNetworks
Pros
Supportive of personal and professional development; Good support group and genuinely nice colleagues; Good range of business departments for choice of career.
Mentoring, people.
The people that you work with and the opportunities that are at your disposal.
The learning opportunities.
Autonomy and freedom.
Cons
The only negative would be the fact that the company is going through change currently after a recent merger. A lot of computer systems are changing as well as some of the processes, leaving a few people 'unhappy' which is slowing down workflow.
Restrictive in opportunities, very slow for work to progress.
Poor work ethic amongst a few employees.
The red tape and inability to effect change.
