Pros & Cons
The best thing is that I get exposed to different divisions of the business and have a good overview.
Variety of work and the opportunity to build a strong foundation in the logistic industry by experiencing several disciplines (Operations, Commercial, Financial etc.) of the Business Units
Travelling for work, getting supports from all level of management.
Graduates get lots of exposure to different parts of the organisation and, subsequently, develop a holistic understanding of the business. Managers also encourage you to visit other sites to learn how they operate and identify any new opportunities at your site. Graduates get plenty of opportunities to interact with the Senior Leadership Team, including the Managing Director. Through shadowing opportunities, we also gain insight into how Managers organise and complete their day to day tasks. Work hours are also quite flexible. Depending on the site's operations, you could work shift hours or standard business hours.
Good variety of work! There is also the opportunity to experience different working environments (i.e. from office to depot) and contribute to high quality projects
The down time in between projects and the lack of clear structure or agenda for future tasks.
The organisation has not had a Graduate Program prior to 2017, so some Operations Managers are still learning how to best utilise and assign tasks to graduates.
Some systems are quite old, which can sometimes make data analysis tedious
Depending on the rotation, hours may not be ideal

Career Prospects
Your work should speak for itself. There are several opportunities across the various business units and management encourages you to apply if you feel it a right fit for yourself
The team I am currently based in has great people with a very positive culture. I look forward to coming to work every day of the week! I feel safe to ask questions and challenge certain ways of working. This helps me understand our business and intricacies. Trust is high and there is the encouragement to be proactive and do things differently.
The Graduate program is very rigorous. The interview process is: 1. Online Application 2. Psychometric testing 3. Video Interview 4. Assessment Centre (AC) 5. One on one interview The whole process is well communicated. The AC is well planned and organised and there is no confusion. All the panel members and interviewers are very professional and try to make you feel comfortable at all time.
