annual leave should be around 21 days depending on your grade.

I don't think you will have much travelling, especially if you are only supporting country office.

working environment should be quite happening there : )

Do they give 13 mth?

one common option for a lot of logistic ppl esp those who get stuck no promotion or find the stress and workpace too fast is to join the teaching staff at related insitutes like SIMM or MOE teacher at ITE after getting a few years exp.

also if ur thinking of travelling as in fly, hotel, wine & dine luxury in style etc, logistics is the wrong industry. management consultancy, oil/gas, banking etc are more into that. most logistics firms have very stingy travel policy.

I was from UPS few years ago and agree 100% - this industry is not into spending $$$ on travel & entertainment.

Back in UPS all staff below Director travel on cheapest economy airline regardless of distance. Hotels are normal 3-4 star chains, only normal taxi (no hotel limo) and meals & entertainment capped at $50 per day. Each overseas trip also need to justify and get a lot of approvals. Pathetic compared to my peers who were from banking.

many companies got uncapped sales plans, i.e. top sales can literally hit >$1m in commission

i dun think ppl here are asking what the top sales can get in commission, most are interested in average nomral variable bonus

I am wondering the same thing

Also, does anyone know of SAP, BAT, GPI...? what do they stand for? I was searching abbreviations and studying them but google popped out a bunch of seemingly irrelevant-logistics results.

If anyone knows of a source or something, really do appreciate

Thanks
