Pros

Management are helpful but as usual their hands are tied on a lot of things, always the case with big global companies. Good place for a hard working new pass driver to start and get experience under their belt

Cons

Not the job for everyone as hard work with on average 10 drops around big cities and towns. If you do not have a good work ethic then definitely not for you as pushing cages and pallets on and off the vehicle all day. For those who are not scared of a hard days graft then you will like the job. Bad parts are the pay should be better considering start times are from 0400 to 0600, majority on the 0400 to 0500 starts so early rise. Also planners as usual don't want to listen to drivers input even though we are the ones who make their bad planning look good by circum navigating their routes and doing the drops in an order that makes sense

Pros

Great coworkers and talented engineers who genuinely support one another. Opportunity to work on impactful projects and solve real business problems. Exposure to modern BI and data technologies. Strong team members who are willing to go above and beyond to deliver results. Good learning opportunities for self-motivated individuals.

Cons

Leadership and management style can create unnecessary stress and turnover risk. Frequent micromanagement and excessive focus on responsiveness rather than outcomes. High meeting volume reduces time available for focused engineering work. Priorities and stakeholder commitments are sometimes established before consulting the engineers responsible for delivery. Limited trust in experienced employees and their ability to manage their own work. Internal growth and mobility can feel restricted. Work-life balance can be impacted by shifting priorities and urgent requests. Lack of recognition or compensation alignment when additional onsite expectations or workload demands are introduced. Having a non-technical BI manager overseeing technical engineering work can sometimes result in unrealistic timelines, misunderstandings of development complexity, and decisions being made without sufficient technical input.
