Okay money, no life, no progression

Warehouse operative/picker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Set hours Some nice people to work with No rewards Okay money

Cons

Set hours - can't change your shifts, Back breaking work 'pick rates' - targets to hit No one is reprimanded for not doing their job. (Have seen violence in workplace and still didn't get sacked!) If you're good at your job, they don't press you. They keep you picking so it makes the management look better. Large staff turnover.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good money, good facilities, understanding management, opportunities to get different licenses, co workers are very friendly

Cons

Training wasnt the best, management is lacking in some areas, quite a lot of favouritism goes on with the faster pickers, if you're hurt in work the managers seem to get annoyed rather than make sure you're okay, they use a lot of agency workers with no intention of signing them on
