work life balance

Advice to Senior Management

Give all employees the opportunity to show what they have to provide in the interview process and be considered for placement

Pros

Good people and a business model that is very profitable. Pay and benefits are above average and the focus on work/life balance is good.

Cons

Moving to a mature business with focus on process. Inconsistent leadership and turnover is high at a senior level. Business is no longer entrepreneurial. Slow decision making. Lack of any new product or service.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus less on cost cutting and more on growth. Speed up decision making processes. Keep senior people in jobs for more than a year or two.

Pros

There is a constant drive for improvement. Things are always in a constant state of change & challenge. Working at CHEP exposes you to a over 500 000 customers, multiple systems and more opportunity than any other organisation I know.

Cons

CHEP gets people ready to take on bigger and better roles. Sometimes this is outside of CHEP meaning we lose people which is sad.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep us on the course

Pros

great pay, freedom in the field, outstanding benefits

Cons

management is very cryptic, some managers don't have degrees and therefore hold it against their direct reports, if you dont live in Orlando its hard to stay in the loop

Advice to Senior Management

too much to list, but start taking a look at your mid level managers and their inexperience and lack of business accumen. Keep up the great executive leadership!

Pros

Location, PTO, Facility, Training, Pay

Cons

Very Bias, Only White and College Educated seem to get promoted. The rest have to fight twice as hard to get promoted. This place is very unfair and I can wait to find a new job.

Advice to Senior Management

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Pros

fast paced, professional growth opportunities, great people, PTO, Benefits, innovation, change, employee empowerment, great people to work with every day

Cons

work life balance needs to be looked at, accountability from some should be scrutinized, changes so quickly you have to be ready to switch gears at any moment

Advice to Senior Management

though growth, change and business evolution are inevitable, don't let the hard working people go unrecognized for their efforts. When people want opportunity to advance rear them into the roles they are looking for.

Pros

I love working at CHEP. My team is made up of incredibly talented people that all give 150%. The job is fast paced and it is what you make it. The benefits, PTO, etc. are top notch and the salary is too.

Cons

Everyone does more than their share of work. This environment is incredibly fast paced.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep communicating. Your efforts are showing!

Pros

Generous PTO, excellent benefits, mutual respect from most members of management. Multiple options to advance career. Fast paced work environment.

Cons

Often lacking direction from immediate management. Work / Life balance sucks badly. Repetitive work. Never praise, but make a mistake and suffer terribly.

Advice to Senior Management

Work on communication and position expectations. Listen to employees at all levels. Promote leadership. Reward employees. Allow for mistakes. Please.

Pros

Great place to work as far as benefits and flexible schedules are concerned.

Very demanding and you flip flop constantly. Focus on one thing one day and the next day something completely diffent. A lot of things are a waste of time and can be frustrating.
