Pros

Great people that want to do the right thing. The company provide good pay, good benefits and mostly good work life balance. The staff is always challenged sometimes for poor reasons.

Cons

Poor leadership from directors on up. Directors can put the team in no win situations and then hang the employees out to dry. Directors are focused on short term cost savings and are more than willing to throw life cycle cost onto other teams. If you are an individual that is detail orientated and wants to use those details for decision making CHEP is probably not the company for you. Management cares little about the details.

Pros

Provided unlimited safety equipment, ie gloves, ear plugs etc and new boots every year. They have a good benefits package with good health insurance. They work with you when situations come up. They'll give you opportunities for advancement. They literally bend over backwards for you. If you can't make it there, you need to do a little self reflection.

Cons

The only one I can think of is what happened to us. They'll sell out to a 3rd party company and your out of a job.

Pros

Amazing people, and benefits. I’ve had some really strong leaders at this company that have helped me grow. This is a fast paced environment.

Cons

High level leadership sometimes does not communicate the long term vision well. Getting pulled in different directions.
