CHEP reviews

"Drink the koolaid" type of culture Hours can be very long as many processes are manual and outdated Too many managers and directors and too few people that can actually get work done or improve processes - talent is draining out of the company Politics drive almost all decisions and unqualified people are promoted which has had direct results on performance President openly talks about personal friendships with Directors and Senior Directors that happen to get promoted again and again The company promotes itself as customer-centric but in practice customers usually come last - cost is first Logistics can be very stressful and contentious and leaders do more to exacerbate tensions rather than easing them Moving up in any company can be very political, but CHEP takes this further than any other company I've worked for. It feels like the whole experience is a game played against other employees.

Long hours (IT positions). Political minefield. Misalignment of organizational goals and objectives across departments
