Pros

The automation team seems to be very smart and hardworking - great group of people to work with and learn from. They can be quite vindictive behind the scenes though.

Cons

I was hired on but then fired within only 3 months, which of course is obnoxious when you quit a previous job and plan your entire livelihood around planning to work for CHEP. I was just getting used to the job role & position, it was a brand-new industry for me, and I'm by no means incompetent. Who takes an engineer through an entire interview process, decides they're a good fit for a position over all other candidates, then fires them within 3 months? Brambles/CHEP, apparently. Co-employees and managers are apparently rather vindictive behind the polite facade they put on, as this firing came extremely suddenly for me.

Pros

Provided unlimited safety equipment, ie gloves, ear plugs etc and new boots every year. They have a good benefits package with good health insurance. They work with you when situations come up. They'll give you opportunities for advancement. They literally bend over backwards for you. If you can't make it there, you need to do a little self reflection.

Cons

The only one I can think of is what happened to us. They'll sell out to a 3rd party company and your out of a job.

Pros

Amazing people, and benefits. I’ve had some really strong leaders at this company that have helped me grow. This is a fast paced environment.

Cons

High level leadership sometimes does not communicate the long term vision well. Getting pulled in different directions.
