Warehouse Storeman

Feb 2018

Warehouse Storeman

South Australia, Australia

7 to 8 years in the role, current employee

It's a job like any other - the people are it's greatest asset.

The good things

Friendly people, including company owners. Flexibility of working hours allowed me time to attend Uni - would not yet have my undergrad degree were this not the case.

The challenges

Poor communication between some members of staff has occasionally resulted in extra work being required. A reluctance to spend money where required has meant that instead of operating like the multi-million dollar company we should be, we're more like a two-bit amateur operation.
