Pros

Team members are very approach and friendly Management are understanding and willing to help in times of need Very well known and respected in the logistics & supply chain industry. Looks very good on resume as graduate

Cons

45 hour working week minimum (8:00am - 5:30pm) (Interviewer firstly stated it was 40 hour per week, which later changed). Usually 46-50 hours working week Overtime was regularly indirectly pressured by managment, which was disappointing. No Work Life balance Lower than average wage Graduate Role: Free-roam and self reliant learning. (Positive when feedback is instant and regular) - Some days working 70% alone - graduates costs less, and are more obedient. - Cheap manual labour Culture wasn't clear depending on the "buy-in" of the individual. - No Human Resource managment national wide. (Concerning)
