    Family business where family comes first
    The good thingsGood stepping stone- but difficult for long term growth.
    The challengesFamily owned business comes with its challenges- working through the succession plan. With this comes no career opportunities.

    If you just don't care, they'll match your attitude.
    The good thingsI only stayed for an hour. At least one other operator sounded their horn while exiting/entering warehouse. I found replacement gas bottles all by myself. The new manager was friendly enough.
    The challengesNo one explained what was going on at any given time. Other operators are insular. No organisation of where items go. To find anything is to play hide and seek. Was almost run into by another operator twice, once resulting in product falling from pallet. I was the second operator to leave after one day.

    Great place to work, has the same issues and complaints that most other firms suffer from.
    The good thingsI find everyone so helpful and friendly. Most vehicles are in very good condition. Office staff are excellent and on the ball. Good work\life balance working a 5 day week.
    The challengesBrisbane traffic. Not all vehicles are left in a clean or tidy state or refueled.

    Definitely worth the effort
    The good thingsThe company is dedicated to controlled growth and is actively investing in its assets. It is focused on enhancing systems and processes, with a clear understanding of its biggest opportunities. The team is friendly, approachable and hardworking people who are committed to making the business better.
    The challengesManaging priorities can be challenging, given the opportunities for improvement and strategic focus. With the new development coming online and the potential for rapid business growth, the pace of change is significant.

    Waste of time and effort
    The good thingssome of the employees
    The challengesWorking with managers who have little knowledge of what they are doing and even less work ethic. They are only interested in their own career and couldnt care less about the employees or the company. Any wonder the company has a 70% employee turnover.

    Australia wide MC driver ( floater)
    Dec 2024
    Direk SA 5110current employee
    In one sentence, I'd have to say , so far, so good. Zero complaints.
    The good thingsI’m a fairly new employee. I’ve found the management I’ve had contact with to be very helpful and patient. Operations management and staff ( SA, QLD, VIC ) are friendly and helpful when you have questions. Most yard staff are friendly and helpful. The other drivers I’ve spoken with and asked questions have been extremely friendly and helpful. Pay is above average , and there is plenty of money to be made if that’s what you want. Equipment is very good , curtains slide as they should ( not struggling just to open). Freight is good, deliveries are relatively easy ( when you do need to deliver) Depot facilities are adequate. Honestly, so far, it’s one of the best companies I’ve worked for in quite a few years.
    The challengesVery few. The depot's are a little small, not much room to manoeuvre, but they do manage it very well. Considering some of the other places I’ve recently worked for , I really don’t see any real issues. But again, I’m only relatively new to the company, but have had many years experience in the industry.

    Disappointing as has so much potential
    The good thingsEasy work mostly, paid for everything
    The challengesClueless management, management looks after people who whinge and dictate what they will and won't do. Other people use the truck if you have a trip off and leave it dirty, unfuelled.

    Laverton WA 6440Less than 1 year in the role, former employee
    A big waste of time.
    The good thingsNothing this place is an embarrassment. Trailer workshop is probably the worst workshop in Australia, the little tools they have are outdated, safety is not there and the management is beyond bad. Don’t waste time.
    The challengesLook if you come to Cahill know it won’t be long term you’ll leave in less than a year like everyone else.
