It was up to the individual to whether their day was going to be hard or not .

Great place to work at, management had a great attitude towards their staff and gave them respect. Which showed on the quality of workmanship. Unfortunately they moved locations and it wasn't feasible for myself.

Great place to work

Forklift Operator (Former Employee) - Canning Vale WA - 30 November 2017

I found nothing wrong with working at stratco. All the staff and supervisors were friendly, the work was easy and there was never a dull day. Workplace culture was all ways different, the hardest part of the job was finding a place to put the finished products down. some had to go into racks and some on the ground.

Pros

to rates paid

Cons

afternoon shift which sometimes went onto the morning

easy and straight forward

Forklift Operator (Former Employee) - Western Australia - 10 October 2016

A typical day would start on an afternoon shift, I would do my normal forklift checks and then after a brief tool box meeting work would start.I learned new skills on a press and forklift called a crab. Management were unseen but made an appearance when they needed too. My co workers and supervisors were the best always were looking out for me and ready to help. The hardest part of the Job was working a afternoon shift which could go until the early hours of the morning sometimes until the start of the day shift, this left me with little sleep, for the next shift.The most enjoyable part of the the job was learning new lift skills. every day was a new day and new challenge.

Pros

Overtime

Cons

Afternoon shift

Positive and easy work with monthly BBQ's

Forklift Driver (Former Employee) - Gepps Cross, SA - 9 October 2014

Certain stores needed to be 'picked' everyday with a list that contained items that the stores had asked for to fill their stock levels. This ensured that the storemen had to have a certain level of time management to guarantee that the stores had received their stock in time. Management could have been much, much better as there was no contact with anyone outside of the direct supervisor. False and broken promises made early in the career. Co-workers were very friendly and always willing to help. good to have a laugh and easy to talk to. The job itself was very easy as once the job was learned, it didn't require much practice to get good at. The job itself was very enjoyable with a good rate of pay for no experience.
