Pros

It was a job - that's about it

Cons

- HR are abysmal. They do not listen, just want to box tick and look down on you - Building was built in the 50s, barely any windows, no light and mold on the walls - They walk the walk with all the fancy slogans, posters and campaigns but that never trickles down to the staff doing the work - One depot is the only one in the entire company that has to publically log where you're going at all times. Toilet included - embarrassing as adults having to change your status to the toilet for everyone to see how long you've been - Team leaders have no experience after being promoted from hire controllers and have little pods of friends; toxic atmosphere - Everyone is in mismatched, ripped hand my down uniforms - Team managers are lazy and let everyone else do the work while they take the glory for the team - Team managers been promoted from hire controllers as favorites but have no experience - Public bullying allowed as nothing ever gets said. You report individuals constantly and nothing is ever done about it

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
