Forklift Driver
Feb 2026Regency Park SA 50101 to 2 years in the role, former employee
12+ hour days, constant pressure, inexperienced leadership, and chronic understaffing.
The good thingsThe café and the new site look great at the moment, but unfortunately it will all be ruined in a few years.
The challengesGetting paid monthly is frustrating. Management continually increases workloads, with regular 12+ hour days and little accountability. A recent management change in Chem Couriers has highlighted serious gaps in experience the new manager, previously in sales, has no floor experience and offers little operational support. Ongoing understaffing and poor oversight raise genuine concerns around safety and sustainability. Mainfreight always talk about “culture” but don't follow their own beliefs.
