nice place to work at the time

Assistant Parts Manager (Former Employee) - Darwin NT - 3 July 2016

This company is ok to work for, working hours were a bit hard to take being on call 24/7 for break down service. I would work for them again depending on hours required.

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

store man (Former Employee) - Brisbane, QLD - 9 October 2013

my job as a storeman was to investigate and fix all the pick errors at all the stations in the truck production line I would get called down to a station and they would tell me the part number that is missing the I would go back to the warehouse find the part location and then do a cycle count on the missing part and if the count was correct I would then go back to production and look for the part 9 out of 10 its been put in the wrong trolley or bounced out on the way done to production or it could have been wrong part put in wrong location and if so I would have to fix this problem strait away so it didn't happen again on the next pick. I learnt a lot at Volvo they also put me through certificate lll in transport and logistics (warehousing and storage).I got on with over 450 people there It was a stress full job but I enjoy and get great satisfaction solving problems

Pros

Cons

Selling large commercial vehicles

Sales Executive (Former Employee) - Chullora NSW - 2 August 2013

Early starts Lots of driving and demonstrating trucks with clients and fleet managers. Lots of justification of highest cost on the market, due to safety and vehicle economy figures, as well as environmental cleanliness and good fuel economy, plus long service intervals. Good co-workers, though they often tend to drink too much Not a good place to join, as they do not value new employees, only the ones that have been aound many years. They have a policy of last in, first out and a revolving door mentality. Also, lazy managers with no new ideas.

Pros

Subsidised canteen

Cons

Make lots of people redundant, like me ....due to GFC.

Good salary and work Values

Service Advisor (Former Employee) - Townsville, QLD - 23 July 2013

every day had customer contact. Learning was expected and encouraged with company website exercises. The hardest part of the job for me was finding the correct job descriptions/number for work carried out on vehicles. Most enjoyable part of the job was when a vehicle was fixed and i could call the customer to come and collect it.
