Everyone is really nice, easy to get along with, and I really enjoy my role.

The good thingsI’ve had the opportunity to work across a wide range of projects, gaining real ownership and responsibility early on. Everyone across all our Australian and global locations have been really supportive. The team has been supportive, and I’ve definitely expanded my skills faster than I would have elsewhere.

The challengesI can't think of any, except that it would be nice to do more social things as a company.

Great variety of tasks. Toxic micro managing from long serving staff.

The good thingsGreat work! 80/20 fork manual handling

The challengesHorrible work atmosphere. No cohesion, stone age warehouse system. Management ignores unproductive toxic current staff with no accountability. Constant undermining and belittling by long serving staff. Always walking on egg shells.
