Amart Furniture Employee Reviews for Dispatch Manager

i found it to be a great challenge as i was shipped their to fix the warehouse due to previous management. upper management were difficult to get a grasp on the severity and the amount of time it would take to run at its most optimal level as they never worked in a ware house environment, so there was alot of unrealistic demands but needless to say the demands were met with enthusiasm and success of a great despatch team

Pros

great team

Cons

no social life

Working as Despatch manager

Dispatch Manager (Former Employee) - Cairns, QLD - 14 January 2015

It has a challenge in it's own place. Every day is different and constantly testing you. We have 3 area's which need our attention. the Receivable's side is a always hard. We get a B double semi full of furniture everyday and as the despatch manager I had to keep in control 4 men who unload and keep a keen eye on where stock was being placed and the layout of where all is being placed as to ensure a clean warehouse and accessible for the despatching side. The second is the despatch dock where we are the last port of call for customers picking up there goods so customer service is a high priority. Fast efficient service and also attending to major drops and delivery truck services. The third is the show room where we work in with Sale and store mangers to get all new and special stock out and set out in floor plane as to be efficient and presentable to the customer experience in store. Along with general duties like paperwork, stock reports and customer issues via phone and in store. It is fast paced and need to be focused at all times for safety and service to customers.

Pros

none

Cons

long hours and lots of stress.
