Genuine Parts Company

Immediate management in credit is great, but the new recruitment person/process is ridiculous, and almost everyone is on a temporary contract...People who have been there for over 2 years. The pay is poor for the role, and there's absolutely no advancement opportunity in any direction. If you're ok with doing short contracts and doing the same role year after year, they do treat you well and have decent benefits and hold monthly meetings with morning tea. It's not a bad temporary job, but there's really no reward for doing more than expected, while some of the others sit back and stare out the window. Good as a filler job, not a career.

There is a lot of politics and favouritism within teams and departments. The daughter or son of senior members working in Australia or USA get a lot of special treatment and opportunities. 
The HR manager is unapproachable and the policies are to favour the senior management mostly. They show off annual events on social media where they always invite the same senior managers of their favourite pets

- Very busy, Always something to do to keep you busy throughout            your day. 
- New systems, 
- For the employees
- Team players
- Frustration with incompetency
- Having work mates that you can socialise with outside work

Everyday is busy,still we do fun. A lot of morning teas,learned different new things eg: using software,handling small team,decision making,problem solving,detailing,investigation.
co-workers are cooperative and supportive.
Solving customer queries over the phone and pressure to clear over dues invoices during month end closing.

Company is extremely reactive, feels like the forward planning is either not there or is not passed down to us so we are constantly behind in what we are asked to do.

Because of this we are always a bit in catch up mode, we make it fun though. The banter amongst the team make the role really fun.

A typical day for me was get in & get the job done. I learned that u could learn so much more than just one job which i done throughout all departments in the job. I only existed to managment when they needed a job done asap... It was a very multicultral workplace that i loved. The hardest part of the job was managment.. I enjoyed seeing my mates..

The pay is the bes† part of the job

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Constant pressure to hit kpis and targets

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic work environment so much gossip and trash talking behind our backs

Too many managers. A manager was assigned for particular section, when there's already a Section Leader or someone who knows their role  yet a manager was there to overlook things basically double handling. 

excellent organisation to work for. great people and management. focus on safety and people.

Training and reviewing processes are on going. Continuous improvement is a primary focus along with people developement

Very Messy environment make every work get busier! Double handling the same work. typical unpredictable hard labor.
Such culture would definitely be suited for dumies!
