We're all passionate about Collingwood, and often claim we'd give various gender specific bits of our anatomies to have the opportunities that folks at our club have. We are the biggest club in the land. Our players have the privilege of playing in front of 150,000 adoring fans every week of the year ...
... but would it really be like that? If you were the gun senior coach of the league and had your choice of:
(A) Working in wintry Melbourne, having Robbo and Caro shadowing your every move, and after every loss you being told on the back page of the Herald Sun that you're about to get fired.
... or ...
(B) Working on the sunny Gold Coast, and maybe having some work experience kid from the local rag call you up for an interview over a hot chocolate and Tim tam biscuit every six months? Owing to the totalitarian socialist regime that is the AFL, the money being offered is much the same. The trophy being played for is much the same. Which gig would you choose?
As an organisation do you think we'd be able to attract the best talent?
Anybody know about glassdoor? It's a website where employees rate their employer.
Curiously, Collingwood has a review (the only club I could find with one, but I didn't systematically go through all 18)
