Best thing
I'm basically my own boss once away from the warehouse. Get on with my colleagues and we support each other. Sometimes get to finish early when all deliveries are complete.
Worst thing
Don't always know what is happening within the company. Teams can be changed at a moment's notice. Sometimes feel unappreciated
