I USED TO WORK AT AUSSIE BILL COMPARE AND IT WAS THE WORST JOB OF MY LIFE!! I felt dirty processing the sales but they basically train you to push and push and push like all sales jobs, its so f*cked up. Its not the actual job that makes me the angriest, its the company. One of the managers constantly sexually harassed a friend of mine who is young enough to be his granddaughter. Asking her if she knows what "sub and dom" is and offering to be her slave and leaving innapropriate sticky notes on her desk. My friend and a few others went to the Fair Work Ombudsman with our case of sexual harassment as well as the fact that they do not give pay slips to workers. They tried to claim that I did not work a certain day even though I did not miss ANY days within my time there. They dont give pay slips because they know that what they are doing is dodgy as hell and they don't want employees to have proof of working there on said days. They fired me in the end for not meeting sales targets. I am so angry and feel used and f*cked over. What they are doing is illegal. Give them all the sh*t you please, but ask to speak to the manager and berate them. Most of the consultants are just trying to work a job. The CEO of the company is covered by his wife because he's dodgy as f*ck and not allowed to legally own a company or some sh*t. Don't ever work there, dont fall for their sh*t. Worst pay ever too. Misleading, sneaky... The list goes on.

I worked with this company a bit ago now (about a year ago).

The product itself is not a bad product. Like the companies on TV that compare health insurance and stuff, this company compares electricty.

But this company has some boarderline practices.

1) They do not pay the people for the 2 days of compulsory training which is all psycho-babble and not what actually what you need to know
2) Staff are classed as contractors which mean they don't pay them. They only pay them commission. The first month you can work on a "base salary" + minimal commision which was $200 for 40 or 48 hours per week.
3) Whilst the training started off with how to sell, on the floor staff were told they could NOT hang up on a customer as they could not accept no for an answer so this resulted in copious amounts of abuse
4) If you could not attend or were 5 minutes late etc then they were able to withhold all pay for that week
5) The fact that "staff" were classed as contractors is at best boarderline and at worst a way to shirk all employee responsibility

This number has been calling every night, and sometimes during the day. Didn't want to pick up bc I assumed it was telemarketer. Glad I finally looked it up. Very very annoying.

Company is garbage. The owner Jude Kirk had a side kick named Michelle who went on to open her own company called energy compare Australia. Same sh*t different building.

They are still in business, recently moved into the City. I used to work there, I don't anymore shortest time I've ever had a job (and no, I did not get fired, I left). I was only there for 2 and half weeks, the 2 days of training and first week were fun, the managers were supportive and patient. By the second week they expect you to know the Company from the inside out. They are constantly always hiring and training new people when they should be focused on the ones they just hired before jumping to the next lot. The data base is sh*t and never up to date. They encourage you to push-push-push for the sale, and most of them are the elderly or people who don't understand English too well. If you don't know anything about sales or if you haven't ever worked in a call-centre like I did, you will never want to work in one again. They don't even ask for your tax file number, offer supperannuation or even give you a payslip. The only good thing ABC have are the people they hire.

The company is dodgy. They have daily sales meeting where they play your calls and call you useless, garbage and plan to push you out. Steve maxwell is the worse. He says bad things about you to the owner. I know this because I used to be in these meetings as CEO.

This company is very VERY dodgy. Stay clear of them, Especially the owner who has been mentioned on this site.

If you are doing work for them, make sure you get the money first.

I worked with them for a little while. They (managers) would tell staff not to hang up regardless of what people said..

Hi Stephanie, Alyssa is correct about there actions as i worked there till early 2015 but worse than that the majority of there sales 'allegedly' come from re-selling existing sales... now normally this is acceptable, calling people you've dealt with before. However what they do is sign people onto a 1-3 year contract, get the commission from the electricity company then call them back in 3-4 months and sign them again to another company...meaning the customer gets a cancellation fee, and ABC gets rich off collecting a 2nd commission for the same customer.

It made me sick!

The owner of ABC is Jude Kirk, he is quite well known as one of the guys who made a crap load of money off the roof bats scheme (I believe he was in court in QLD over one of the deaths and his profiteering). The general/op's manager is his girlfriend (about a 1/3 of his age) and they both treat people like crap.

I heard most of the management staff either walked out or were fired in 2014 as they wouldn't put up with Jude's behaviour.

Read all the comments on here. The nice ones are written by the owner Jude Kirk. He is a shonky lying piece of sh*t and so are his whole family. His side kick Steve maxwell is just as bad if not worse. A ferral piece of work to a level you would not believe. I cannot get over the way in which this lot work. Deceit, illegal operations, lies, lies and more lies. This company really needs to be shut down. It's sad that people need to resort, out of desperation in finding work, go here to get a job that is wrong as it is, leads people to believe they have a chance to make a living under fake lying promises and they leave so unhappy. I know the facts. And so do so many others. Just don't go here!! DONT!!

I lasted 7 months, which was a bit of a record ABC wise. Loved the work, hated the pay structure (or lack of.. including no super...) always highly stressed knowing I could lose my job or be sent home any minute by not meeting target KPI's. Good workmates, crazy environment with the music blaring out constantly, but Im so glad I left and found something far better.
