Pros

Flexible hours, opportunity to gain experience in different roles within a warehouse based environment.

Cons

There was hardly ever any hand protection (gloves) on site when it was needed, shifts would be arranged and cancelled with no notice (2 hours in advance if lucky). On 2 different occasions I had turned up to work to discover that the shift had been cancelled and the agency did not give me a phone call or text message to inform me about this, literally wasting my valuable time, energy, fuel money! Often a shift would start 3 hours later than originally intended and I would be given 2 hours notice if lucky. Shifts would get cancelled very frequently and as a result I found myself struggling to pay for living costs.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to learn of the ways you have been inconvenienced by late notice changes to your hours and shifts. I’ve flagged this to our senior management team so that we can review what is happening and look to mitigate the reasons behind the short notice. I have also passed on your feedback about hand protection. I appreciate you taking the time to flag these concerns and hope that we can quickly bring improvements for you and your other warehouse colleagues.

Pros

The company I was assigned to is able to provide upskilling opportunities assuming you are performing well. The job is relatively easy and pays well in comparison to the market.

Cons

The work itself can be repititive but that is just the nature of data entry. I had to put something here to place the review..
