    Avoid at all costs, they are money hungry grubs
    The good thingsI met some great friends
    The challengesDuring my time with Scope we were understaffed and overworked. Management are useless and believe they know what they are doing despite most of them never having had worked on the floor before. If you challenge management they push you out, make false allegations against you and their process with dealing with such allegations is atrocious. Not a week went by where I was not stressed and bringing that stress home. What was once a really great place to work is now hell in Morisset. Management changes has absolutely destroyed the company.

    Would not recommend working for Scope.
    The good thingsI’ve made some great friends.
    The challenges- Often understaffed - No support dealing with difficult Participant's (basically get told “this is the job and deal with it”). - Massive staff turn around and you’re stuck training them on top of dealing with behaviours and short staffed. - Staff inc Managers are moved houses often without explanation. This causes uncertainty with staff and participants. - Lack of consistency with anything. - Their investigation process especially with false allegations against you.

    It could be great but management really don't care about anyone except each other.
    The good thingsGetting out and meeting students
    The challengesI work for METS, part of Scope. Manager favours some staff over others and treats accordingly. Its extremely toxic but and they really don't care as long as they they look after their own.
