Pros

Decent money, new trucks now

Cons

Unrealistic expectations of work day, threatening and bullying management, threat of redundancy. I saw in another review the company replied with their 'zero tolerance to bullying line' however this isn't true. HR were involved and numerous drivers reported bullying by one individual in management but it was swept under the carpet. When it reoccurred and was again reported it was again ignored. Drover continually told how bad we are in soul destroying toolbox talks, regardless to amount of hours you do.

Pros

The best thing about working for Certas is that they are forever making people redundant, so you likely won't have to endure the management team for very long anyway.

Cons

Poor leadership ruins the role The day-to-day work itself is manageable, but the leadership in the National Stock Management and Operations Support department makes it a toxic place to work. The Manager is a textbook micromanager with zero people skills, making it impossible to work with any autonomy. To make matters worse, the Assistant Manager is a bully who creates a hostile environment. I cannot recommend working under this specific leadership team. The pay is poor and only just about scrapes minimum wage. The low salary is absolutely not worth the stress that comes with the job.

Pros

Good for the CV as the lack of processes and systems means you are doing work that would usually be reserved for those Senior level wages.

Cons

Certas is part of DCC, because DCC is just an investment company, they fundamentally have no idea how to operate a company and lack the internal knowledge to be able to hire technical staff - some really strange hirings of Directors.
