The team is what makes it enjoyable and easier
In the office, the culture is very positive. working on the floor was a good, but different experience. It felt very 'trucky' and a lot let professional.
Mainfreight prides themselves on team culture and ensuring everyone is involved in the operation. There is no hierarchy, everyone is treated the same, no matter the role you are in. In fact it is reversed! Everyone starts in operations, working in the depot understanding the fundamentals of the operation. This is key to understanding how the business works and enables better decisions to be made when reaching an office based role. The graduates are split into groups with mentors who have been in the business for 3 years (8 grads to 3 mentors ratio). This is a way to meet people from other branches, ask questions, request support and make friends by doing activities outside of work. Everything about Mainfreight is built on the foundation of team and culture which makes the whole environment niche and desirable.
Very team-oriented structure, no one person is responsible for everything. Everyone contributes to everything we achieve daily.
