Pallex

I start with pulling a csv throughput to view all consignments each of our customers have manifested, this involves checking that all freight has been scanned onto our depots delivery vehicles, if goods have no scans then i have to investigate the reason why and and accordingly. I then pull a change report to see if any changes have been made to any of the consignments and amend accordingly and then add to the customers discrepancy report on a daily basis to advise of any changes to costings. I also send daily delivery status reports out to each of my customers to advise the status of each of their deliveries.

I do enjoy this position but I feel I need to progress to the next level.
I would like to stay with customer service/admin but within the logistics industry as this is something i have built alot of experience within this sector.

A challenging business to work for especially during the past few years.

Did not look after employee well-being during the COVID pandemic and made people come in to the office when they could work from home especially in customer services.

Cult of personality at the very top level.

HSE could do with performing some surprise visits!

Enjoyable place to work initially with some real opportunities.

Excellent levels of professional externally recognised training available, salary good for local area.

Expectation of long hours when not contracted and long days are the norm here.

Challenging safety culture with few controls in place to prevent serious injury. 

Was with pallex for 1 year and was actually a very enjoyable place to work, good pay and reasonable working hours and never really felt overworked however, due to operational changes in 2021 this all changed with management becoming stricter and the staff being stressed and overworked while struggling to regulate tasks properly to the warehouse floor, it is a job that can lead to other things if you go above and beyond for them on day one otherwise you may be treated as disposable 

Health safety terrible watch out for pallets falling off top deck of trailers I see it happen 3 times in short time I was work there . Mangers terrible . Loading in mornings terrible do not expect to get out early .Collections all over the place Office staff don’t have a clue . They may pay good but you have to jump fro hoops to earn it good luck if you choose to work there and want to be stressed out every day .They don’t no difference between stress and attitude jokers

Never knowing when you are going to finish your shift.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good environment  through out, lot of staff turnover.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hgv driver so was always asked to do more, and long days.

Working at Pallex was enjoyable at first but it dosnt take long before your hours shift from 10hrs to 14/15hrs a day. Your day is planned for 10hrs but never is your expected to work what the planners say with no argument. Management expect the same, if you do try to finish after 10hrs then you will need to sit in the office and explain why. 

Mostly during night shifts you will be waiting in a queue of up to 40 trailers waiting to be unloaded. Sometimes sat for up to 5 hours waiting to get on a bay. The job is easy enough and you go to locations nationwide, if you don't mind waiting around for hours every day then I say go for it, not my cup of tea though 

i had been only driver behalf 1 Class Transport therefore nice Fat Boys snack bar and a lot of pressure during nights. What ever had come during a night was incredible fast resolved, if you a driver you can make a lot of friends during waiting time for bay.

Worked on the pallet network, class one.
Incredibly overworked, went to places a vehicle this size shouldn't, did some very hazardous maneuvers,  put my licence at risk numerous times with crazy reversing  at some locations.
2 of the office staff good, the rest probably the worst in the industry.
