What are your thoughts on pay and bonuses at your company?
Can be more competitive
Graduate, Perth - 11 Sep 2024
As a graduate, I find that the pay at Western Power is average compared to the market. While it may not be the highest, it is fair for entry-level positions and comes with opportunities for growth and development.
Graduate, Perth - 06 Sep 2024
Standard. 2 years guaranteed being at a graduate pay is a little bit of a sting, any job I'm grateful for however.
Graduate, Perth - 05 Sep 2024
I will say it's average, but it is the lowest offer I received. Bonuses? never heard of them.
Graduate, Perth - 05 Sep 2024
I agree that company provides lots of benefits, in my opinion for the work we contribute the pay could have been improved. But I am satisfied with current pay.
Graduate, Perth - 05 Sep 2024
The pay is not bad considering I work in the government sector. However I wish the graduate pay would increase more incrementally inline with what a full time engineer gets paid as by time we finish the rotation, or even during rotations we are doing the work of a normal engineer. I don't think bonuses really apply to us.

Western Power pay reasonably well for a graduate program. I'm unsure of the pay and bonuses of higher-level jobs though.
Graduate, Perth - 12 Jul 2024
The payment is comparatively less as that of the private sector.
Graduate, Perth - 05 Jul 2024
The graduate salary is very competitive compared to private company graduate programs (WP is a government owned entity) but does not compare well when you reach senior roles as there appears to be high staff turnover at that level of experience (staff retention needs a lot more work in that area).
Graduate, Perth - 05 Jul 2024
Pay is great for a graduate-level program. I think pay scales/progression could be presented more clearly. For example, steps to go from graduate to normal to senior data scientist, etc... and what pay is expected at these levels. There isn't any bonuses as far as I know.
Graduate, Perth - 23 Nov 2021
Base graduate salary is very competitive, with a number of options available for additional pay after the graduate program.
Graduate, Perth - 16 Nov 2021
Good pay

State Government Enterprise, no bonuses available. Pay rises dependent on current state government legislation / ruling.
Graduate, Perth - 15 Nov 2021
At a graduate level the pay is standard across the board. No bonuses however. Future pay prospects are limited by the state government wages act.
Graduate, Perth - 15 Nov 2021
Pay is good but no bonuses
Graduate, Perth - 15 Nov 2021
Pay is award rate though not as competitive as private companies, though I'd rather have the work-life balance provided here. I do not believe there are bonuses at WP.

What are your company's best or most unusual perks? For example: free tickets, free dinners, moving expenses, taxis, pension, etc.
Western power offers several great perks, such as discounts on private health insurance, gym memberships, and gift cards. There are also several other benefits that I have yet to fully explore.
Graduate, Perth - 06 Sep 2024
Can pay for 4 weeks of leave observed quite a bit sick leave use (not hounded on for using)
Graduate, Perth - 05 Sep 2024
Unlimited sick leave.
Graduate, Perth - 05 Sep 2024
Offers on Hoyts tickets, Automobile service discounts. Few restaurant discounts. and not sure much of these.
Graduate, Perth - 05 Sep 2024
I think one of the biggest perks currently is the 'unlimited sick leave', it makes work less stressful that if I get sick, I don't need to debate if I can actually take the day off. Also that I can buy 4 additional weeks of leave each year.
Graduate, Perth - 30 Jul 2024
The best perk for me is the 40% working from home per week. Another great perk is a table tennis table that is used on lunch breaks regularly.
Graduate, Perth - 12 Jul 2024
There are few corporate perks like every organisation. Nothing fancy
Graduate, Perth - 05 Jul 2024
