Pros
The job's good. Fast paced, which makes the time (which there's a lot of) fly. You also learn a lot. The colleagues in the warehouse are good people who help you learn things with a lot of patience. Weekly pay. Onboarding process is good. Maybe it was too late but they at least heard me out on my way out.
Cons
12 hour shift 5 times a week, which means you have to rest most of the time you are not at work or you end up a sleep deprived zombie if you decide to have a social life outside of work. The management can be described as shocking in a single word. No patience at all. They expect you to have learnt everything because you worked there a couple of weeks. And it is a culture over there for the management to boll*ck others working under them even for simple things, probably to look authoritative.A Unrealistic notice periods designed to make it difficult for you to get new jobs elsewhere. The hourly pay is not that good but The warehouse guys working over there make a lot (because they work a lot). They also offer you 45 hour weeks but the pay greatly reduces, laying bare the not so good hourly rate. Lots of Diesel FLTs operate in a confined and closed space, leaving diesel particles on everything you can see and everywhere, even inside your lungs. The manager gets wound up about smaller H&S issues but fails to address the elephant in the room which are the FLTs. FLTs are driven like F1 cars (no exaggeration. I' they drift, skid, do burnouts unintentionally because they're always in such a hurry). And not one FLT driver wears a seatbelt, literally, not one. And this all goes on with so many pedestrians around.
