No Growth Not Competative Salary

Logistics Engineer (Current Employee) - Wacol QLD - 4 August 2023

Very flat organization and not paid well. Globally company does well but local Australian plant HR has no clue what outside industrry is paying. They dont give growth and have to work very long hours.

Something different each day

Apprentice Technician (Former Employee) - Wacol QLD - 22 February 2020

Friendly bunch of guys to work with. Always a story to tell at the end of the day. Plenty of work with minimal downtime. Supervisors can sometimes be nerve racking when something does not go to plan

Great place to work

Storeman (Former Employee) - Wacol QLD - 21 November 2019

Very sad to leave this company, would return promptly if requested. Easy to learn the basics, and future progression within the company is encouraged.

assembler / gantry crane operator (Former Employee) - Wacol QLD - 4 February 2018

Every day at work was rewarding, and I loved going. I would get to my station half hr early just to set up, to unlock my tools and get out what i needed and have it ready, to find out my line-up of different variant truck cabs for the day and order any small parts I needed if I wasn't stocked up for the day/week. I got along great with my supervisors, line technicians and co-workers which made my days even more enjoyable. If I wasn't hungry on my breaks i would just work through them and if I ended up being ahead I would take a walk down my line to see if anybody needed a hand with their station because I loved being a part of something so great. In doing so I was able to learn numerous different stations and add to my skills matrix. Volvo trucks was the first job that i was actually keen to get out of bed for at 3:30/4am and get ready for. So I guess the hardest part of my job was to leave each afternoon and most enjoyable part would have been waking up to start my day off. I also loved the hrs 5&6am starts with the odd overtime which i loved and the option to work over the christmas shutdown period which i always took.

Pros

Excellent canteen, regular learning experience and career development opportunities.

Cons

none.

Picking customers orders accurately

Warehouse LO picker (via Chandler Macleod (Former Employee) - Wacol, QLD - 18 May 2015

Pick, Pick, Pick need to be an accurate picker, management was good, co-workers works just as hard, the hardest part of the job is coming into work motivated, the most enjoyable day is when I have completed appropriate daily tasks and choirs
