Deception and Unprofessionalism
The negative comments regarding the Deck Bar in Darwin are centered around deception and unprofessionalism. Marko S. shares his poor experience with the company, stating that they invite people to trials under false pretenses, intending to use them for free labor. He was promised a job after the trial, but ultimately received a rejection after 10 days. Another author, Marko S., had the same experience, indicating that the company's trials are a means to exploit people.
