Salary at Auckland Council

It is great that council has the annual pay review where most employees get a boost in order to keep up with inflation. Getting an out-of-cycle pay increase can be quite difficult but you need to advocate for yourself and prove that you deserve it.

Would have been quite satisfied if I was not living in such an expensive city. I would have been more happy if they had given me extra money for relocating (I did not ask for it).

Has worse pay than the private industry with no bonuses included in compensation

Good in my level.

it is not low but still struggle to save up with the grad salary

Really good pay, nice to get CPI each year.

I am satisfied. May not be the best but not the worst either.

Could be better, but okay at the moment.

I was very satisfied with my salary, even though it's the lowest among all of my classmates. Then I became dissatisfied once we started to get told that "your salary is median across your profession", which felt deceptive, knowing that nobody I know gets lower pay than we do. However, I like how clear the Tier band pay system is. And honestly for all the opportunities I am getting at work very well compensates my lower salary.

It's good that it's so transparent and it feels like AC is trying to make it as equitable as possible.

there are not any bonuses at the role but always pay every employee above minimum wage and there is always room for improvement and growth.

For my first role post-University, I am very happy with where I am starting and have been made aware of the potentially increases in my salary.

The entire pay regime at Auckland Council feels very fair and equitable. I am very happy with my starting wage as someone who doesn't have any experience in the field that I've been assigned to (other than theoretical knowledge on things learnt from university). This is my first time working a professional job, so I'm super happy with what I am getting.

Not able to negotiate for Graduate positions, but I am generally happy about it.

Working for a government organisation has the given downside of lower pay compared to private sector organisations. However, I am satisfied with my pay due to the constant development opportunities, flexibility, and amazing work culture across the organisation.

The pay for my role is quite fair. Council's gender and ethnic pay gap is significant however, and needs to be addressed for Maori and Pacific staff (particularly wahine).

A bit of money is better than no money.

No bonuses. Pay is at the minimum according to our union survey, but I do get an out of sequence pay rise.

Grad pay rather low but the job is done for learning rather than pay and is supposed to increase at the end of the programme.

Once a year free zoo pass - great for friends and family :)

50% off gym membership to recreational centres. There are lots more but I can not remember them all.

discounts at some shops and leisure/recreational areas. free pass/es for certain areas

Generous leave policies and Auckland council owned free/cheap activities varying in locations.

samsung discounts, gym membership

Free trips to the zoo!

That something I am still finding out. Maybe I am just not too interested in this department.

Free yearly membership to the museum is really good.

The pass to either Auckland Zoo / Art Gallery membership / Leisure centre classes

Get varieties of different types of staff benefits

Heavily discounted leisure center passes, free zoo visits, discounts at local cafes

Council has plenty of perks, such as a free visit to the Auckland Zoo or the Art Gallery, as well as some to attend gyms, discounts on certain places, etc.

Too many benefits of working here to count, discounts, free zoo tickets, car hire, etc.

The best perks at Council that I was very happy to hear about are: a free Zoo visit, a 10-trip access to art galleries and Gym discounts!

Best perks: there's a whole page of perks available. Get a lot of discounts on things, I saw that there's discounts for period underwear (AWWA) which is really cool, they've got great underwear! Really appreciate the discounts on council owned gyms, that definitely motivates me more to go!

Study leaves of up to 5 days if you take professional development opportunities.

The best perks are discounts for technology stores, as it allows us to upgrade our home setups for slightly cheaper to enjoy a cozy working from home environment.

We call these perks - benefits. you can receive free pass to the zoo, maritime museum, art gallery, leisure centres etc.

None lol
