Mainfreight New Zealand Reviews

There are always opportunities coming up. You just need to put your hand up and show you're interested, and this puts you in good stead to move in your career.

We are the major sponsor for Books in Homes, there is a scholarship fund and every branch commits to having a day’s community involvement each year. There is very much an element of giving back to your community. Going to hand out the books at a Bbooks in Hhomes assembly was an incredible experience I won’t forget.

No job descriptions allow for a fairly loose and flexible structure. The culture is amazing - everyone is very welcoming and inclusive. Multiple annual events are organised throughout the year outside of work hours for the team to enjoy - kids' Christmas party, Round the Bays, and Touch Tournament (just to name a few). During work hours, it is a complete team environment - everyone is valued valued, and we all work together to achieve the best we can as a branch. Lots of opportunities to socialise with 'colleagues' to the point where they become genuine friends.

We have a very diverse workforce, There is a great maternity leave policy. As a woman at Mainfreight Ii feel opportunities are equal there were some things Ii couldn't physically lift in my time on the floor and the boys would help me but other than that it's fair play.

The role is fairly autonomous & flexible. Have a few core responsibilities that keep my day busy.

All my managers in my time have been so approachable and very open to helping. All communication is very open and casual. Performance reviews are done annually and is a great time for recognition of work.

Open plan office. Coffee machine for staff team, complementary bread & fruit. The dress code is office attire/business casual. Uniform for store team provided which some office team chose to wear full time (comfy option).

The interview process was really good quite open chats and honest about what was expected, they didn’t sugarcoat what your responsibilities are. Not many assessments and more conversations. i.e.i.e., will you fit into our team? being a good person is valued here, if you can be trusted will go a long way.

Pay is good and understandable for what is it. However, bonuses are amazing! Bonuses are based on branch performance as well as individual performance. This is absolutely the best part.

Have been put on a few internal courses. Learnt lots about the business & also how to deal with difficult situations, customer service, how to delight the customer, manage expectations, stress management, resilience & team building.

We do 10 hour10-hour days. I love what I do, so 10 hour10-hour days fly by fast. We have good give and take, you never need to take leave if you have an appointment, the business understands that these things are important, and they want you to feel like they value you.

We do heaps we have electric trucks even linehaul and electric forks these are powered by solar farms on the depot roofs. We use greywater from the roof also for the toilets and truck wash. And there are really exciting things happening in the emissions reporting space so we can provide our customer with information to make more sustainable options in their supply chains.
