    What’s it like working at Kinetic?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees appreciate their supportive colleagues and fellow drivers, who provide a strong network of mutual support. The role offers flexibility with various shift options, autonomy in daily work, and valuable learning opportunities within the transport industry.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including concerns about management practices and communication at senior levels. Employees have noted long hours with limited breaks, opportunities for improved recognition from upper management, frequent organisational restructures, and the need for more integrated IT systems and processes. Additionally, shift allocation can be inconsistent for casual staff.

    Unless you're desperate, don't bother.
    The good thingsI can't for the life of me describe anything I've enjoyed about working with this Company.
    The challengesTo address the 'Driver shortage', it seems they recruit the 'lowest common denominator' with zero skills and experience. It reflects badly on the very few professionals who receive the same pay and worse treatment.

    There's a reason they pay so well (used to) frontline people are wonderful, management no so much.
    The good thingsI enjoyed my role and the broad range of people I interacted with on a daily basis. The people across the operational side of the business were wonderful, hardworking, and genuinely committed to the "You Are Loved" ethos.
    The challengesThere were a few senior managers who seemed to be extremely toxic towards everyone below them on the organisational chart, yet as sweet as can be to the ELT, some of whom are now part of that group themselves. It was this duplicity that left me happy to move on. The lack of recognition from the ELT for the people doing the real work, combined with the constant promotion of those I felt were less deserving, left me wanting out. They also carried out a significant round of redundancies involving many highly experienced employees, often replacing multiple people with a single junior employee at a substantially lower salary.

    You will learn heaps and be thankful but at a cost!
    The good thingsAmazing growth for this company and the learning is this industry is very rewarding.
    The challengesToxic culture, impossible deadlines, bulling culture at senior levels, people in key roles with no experience to lead their teams, shocking favouritism shown to under preforming staff, pay scale is below market, antiquated systems, the list goes on
