Today in Russia (as well as around the world) the business of transporting goods is widely enough developed to involve a huge number of people. In practice, this is exactly what happens: a lot of personnel work in companies that perform a wide variety of functions. Of course, according to the logic of things, a large proportion of the specialties here are “taken” by ordinary representatives (office, phone), movers and couriers (in some kind of transport). However, besides this, there are, of course, a number of other, organizational and specialized vacancies.
In today's article, we will talk about how Delovye Lines is transported, a company that is on the list of the largest delivery services in Russia. This is a really interesting and promising (in every sense) company, which is an employer for a huge number of people.
In the article we will use employee reviews (“Business Lines”, fortunately, are rather actively discussed on many sites with recommendations), information from open sources (about vacancies, for example, or about working conditions) and other resources in order to characterize employment in company. Well, of course, we begin with a brief description of this subject.
About company
So, according to official information on the website, the carrier has been operating since 2001. During this time, more than two million customers appeared who entrusted their business to Delovye Lines. St. Petersburg, Moscow and dozens of cities - in all these settlements there are representative offices in which more than 16 thousand people work. As you can guess, many of them leave comments about their employment. We, in order to write this review, were looking for feedback from employees. Business Lines is a company that, incidentally, receives them in sufficient quantities. These reviews will be given below in order to convey to readers information about the activities of the service “from the inside”.
First, we’ll clarify the data on the structure of the company, its division into different branches across dozens of Russian cities. That way, the principle of recruiting staff for departments will be clearer: how people are recruited, how they manage to successfully continue their activities in the company.
Also, we will clarify a little further information on the principles of selecting vacancies: how specialists are found here, how to find open vacancies, and more.
Representative offices and settlements
So, let’s start with what are the lines of terminal address at Business Lines. This information is publicly available: it was posted on the official website in a special section with a map where the user can independently select the settlement of interest to him. In total, the company has about 160 different pick-up and drop-off points. These are, as a rule, large warehouses where you can even order the service of storing your cargo.
Here (meaning - on the site) using an online calculator, you can calculate the cost of delivery. Business Lines, like all other delivery services, have a complex system for determining the cost of transportation of goods, with which the final tariffication is made.
Initially, in order to use the calculation, you need to know the parameters of the cargo. This includes, for example, the weight of the parcel, its dimensions, delivery and dispatch addresses. Having clarified all these points, you can determine how much the parcel will cost with Business Lines.
All these services work for greater user comfort. This includes cargo insurance, the option of packaging, and much more. In the end, in the package of secondary services of the company "Business Lines" - tracking on the invoice is not the first place. However, if you use the services of this service, all of this will already be clear.
So, we talked a little about the work of the company. Now I would like to draw attention to what conditions await employees who directly carry out transportation. "Business Lines", by the way, are very popular among those wishing to find work.
Jobs
First about the posts and specializations. The company keeps a complete list of available seats. They are presented on the official website in the “Career with Us” section. Here is a list of cities in which the terminals are located. There are also various names of vacancies that are currently empty: everyone can submit their resume and be invited to the post. What attention is paid to the leadership of the company "Business Lines" (the terminals are different, so the people who decide to hire an employee are also not the same), no one knows.
Requirements
What do employee reviews say about vacancies? Business Lines, they said, is a company that is fully capable of providing many with jobs. The main thing is to meet the requirements of the company. If you open a vacancy that interests you, you can see a list of qualities necessary to work in this position. Here there are general characteristics, such as “honesty” or “openness”, as well as specialized requirements for people who will perform specific functions: experience, education, software skills. The mode of employment in the company "Business Lines" is also indicated. Tracking cargo, transportation, communication with customers - these and other functions are described for each of the posts. Moreover, there are not only those specialties that are required in the field of cargo delivery: as already mentioned, the company is also looking for cleaners, programmers, lawyers and others.
Working conditions
Regarding where and how the employee will conduct his activities, there is not much information. On the site, you can see the maximum address of the office in which this person will be located. Also listed here are responsibilities: tasks assigned to him.
It is better to learn from friends about how they actually work in the service. You can, of course, read reviews of employees. Business Lines is a large company, so there are more than enough responses about it.
Collective
So we, in fact, did. Note: reviews regarding the scope of employment are specific. You need to understand that the company has been operating for about 15 years. During this time, a huge number of people visited here: someone got along well, and someone really had problems with the staff around him. The first ones, of course, were unlikely to write some kind of feedback about the company on the Internet: nobody simply needs it if there are no problems. The latter, most often, write negative comments, as they leave the company with a secret insult in their souls. Because of this, it is not surprising that some reviews about work in the company "Business Lines" (the terminals are described differently) are extremely negative.
People are most often dissatisfied with the team, they say that there is supposedly gossip and discussion, “setups” (and where, by and large, aren't there?) And more. All this is in any team, but to what extent this problem will reach depends on the heads of the offices. Therefore, from these reviews we can conclude that problems, of course, can arise, but it is not at all necessary that this will happen in your team.
Wage
There is also negative information about employee income. For example, a site with vacancies does not specify how much a person will receive. Most often, the salary amount is announced specifically at an interview held in the company "Business Lines". Moscow (the addresses of specific points in the reviews, unfortunately, are not given), for obvious reasons, is a region where they offer higher wages (from 30 thousand and above), as for the periphery, then they can offer 20 thousand as a maximum.
Organizational moments
There is information about various “norms” and rules that are set in the service. This applies, in particular, and the breakdown of working time at intervals for the employee to rest. Here, for example, in the reviews we are talking about the fact that in one of the offices of the company "Business Lines" (Moscow, the address of the concrete, unfortunately, the writer did not indicate), they introduced practice - employees must observe the “black and white” dress code.
At the same time, the employee was given an hour to rest (with a 9-hour working day). Of these 60 minutes, 30 was spent for lunch and 30 were broken up in batches for weaning. In addition, there are rules regarding communication (employees must give all instructions or ask questions through the messenger), and there is also a system of fines. She, as noted by the reviews, is such that sometimes the employee can greatly "fly" into a large amount. True, there are very few such reviews, most likely, they were described by one branch of the company.
Promotion and perspective
But in terms of training and experience, the company's employees are at their best. Many comments indicate that special attention was paid to staff training. People who are hired take special courses; they are assigned a coach (a person who is fully engaged in you and developing your skills).
Employment here and work for at least several months can give a serious start to a further career in sales already on more loyal terms. Therefore, for young applicants, perhaps this is a pretty good option.
Are reviews objective?
Of course, on the whole, we managed to meet dozens of diverse comments of people who noted both positive and negative qualities of work in the company "Business Lines". Many of them argued their position with quite impressive arguments. Nevertheless, we are all well aware that the best option is to find out the opinion of real people, which, by the way, can be done when you are employed, just communicate with the staff working in the company.
conclusions
Again, back to the thesis about the long-term functioning of the company "Business Lines". Tracking cargo, tracking number, support - all this led to a rather long work of the service in the market. Judge for yourself: 15 years is a very long time for the delivery service to go through its “baptism of fire” and become a fairly stable player in the market, and at the same time a reliable mechanism. To date, the company has a well-known name, a positive and very voluminous reputation, a million-strong database of individuals and enterprises using their services, thousands of cars.
Therefore, from the point of view of employment, it is in any case an opportunity to test your skills, learn something new, and gain experience. What we want for you, especially if you are a young enthusiast who would not like to sit still. Who knows, perhaps working in the company "Business Lines" will satisfy you completely in all respects and will turn out to be exactly the place that you have been searching for unsuccessfully for a long time.
