Pros

Large company that is financially stable and doing well. Internal promotion is possible and you can get jobs in other depots or head office.

Cons

Unless you are sales you simply dont matter. Wages are secret so everyone thinks they are the worst paid. Training involves telling you to work smarter and harder. The depots are under staffed and communication is poor up and down the line. Its a top heavy company with more managers than workers.

Pros

The people I worked alongside were the best part of the job.

Cons

While my early experience was positive, my experience changed significantly over time. Communication and the application of workplace policies became less consistent, and the work environment felt increasingly micromanaged. Workplace changes and employee transitions were not always handled in a way that felt transparent or consistent. In my experience, compensation and annual raises did not keep pace with employee contributions or expectations. I also believe the company could do more to recognize and support long-term employees, especially during periods of change. It was a reminder that the end of an employee’s experience often reflects the culture just as much as the beginning.
