Avoid at all costs if you value yourself. There are better opportunities out there. The good thingsCo-workers. And clocking out.
The challengesToxic management.
Toxic work culture.
Very low pay and the new eba is terrible for forklift operators.
The revolving door is due to the Toxic management here. The pen pushers upstairs care nothing about anyone in the warehouse. They are just self-serving and feeding their egos.
No one's job is safe when the company has decided to make core staff management redundant and it leaves a bad vibe throughout the warehouse with people looking over their shoulders whilst walking on eggshells... hoping they are the next one to be made redundant.
Casual staff that bring up safety issues lose their jobs, once they speak up they are not seen the next day. Only permanent staff are safe to highlight safety issues, which makes no sense at all. This company does not live by their own key values.
- 'We do the right thing'..... sometimes they do but often they don't.
- 'We are in it together'.....definitely not... it's every man for themselves and they will stand anyone's back to do so.
- 'We give a damn'..... about themselves not the staff that make the warehouse run.
- 'We get it done'.....despite the cost to the staff.
The toxicity starts with the warehouse manager and spreads like a cancer to the team leaders, once approachable team leaders are now shut off, rude, and too self absorbed to properly train the casuals entering the warehouse. The turnover is unlike anything I've seen. Most are lucky to survive the week here. They're poorly trained by staff that are under trained themselves. More often than not, casuals ask other staff questions regarding how to use basic features on the Rf gun. Of which they should've been shown when they were being trained. It's not their fault. They need to be trained properly.
For the most part the staff both permanent and casual can't wait to leave for the day. They are not happy in this environment. The only reason some have remained is they are afraid of change, leaving their workmates.
And too conditioned to the poor treatment.
Those that leave find a level of happiness not felt while working for Bapcor.
As well, the new eba was not favourable to the staff and many still have a bad taste in their mouth regarding the outcome and many short comings along with the low pay. The company increased its prices with 'inflation' but was hard pressed to increase wages for the staff that make them the money. And no backpay. Do better Bapcor.
