Pros and cons of working at Daniel Allison & Associates
Pros
The culture that the company has worked so hard to achieve - they highly encourage collaborative working and commend staff on their achievements
The environment, level of support, and overall just the friendliness and willingness to help everyone in the office. A workplace has truly never felt like home the way DAA does
The best thing about working for DAA is the culture of the firm. There is a very welcoming and inclusive culture within the firm, with many social events, sports teams, and other events that allow you to feel like you belong. In addition, the work-life balance you can expect while working here is exceptional
The most amazing aspect of working at DAA has been fundamentally the people and culture that’s in the firm. You really feel like you belong and everyone wants to help each other out, gives you the time to teach/ mentor in any aspect. Additionally with mentorship, having the buddy system has made the process in learning/ and able to ask any questions, but at DAA you can go to anyone and as question and they always willing to help
Great support with work and work is interesting and varied, presents a good challenge
Cons
Fulltime in the city
If made to come up with the 'worst' thing about the firm, a minor drawback would be the discouragement to work from home
Would have to be the travel but I would have that at any company I worked for in the city
Location - commute would be 20 minutes if the office was in the CBD. Being in South Melbourne adds an extra 20 -30 minutes to the commute
There is no worst thing
