Which department have you led that you enjoyed the least? I'll go first, freight forwarding. While I climbed the salary ladder in management, the cutthroat politics were enough for me to consider other things.

Definitely the finance department, I have no problem with allocating funds but I do have a problem with people who don't accept other people's opinions.

You are right, the most difficult department is logistics. I hate watching to make sure that deliveries are done correctly and on time.

I led the procurement and logistics department two years ago. I did not enjoy it because it was very challenging to manage the inventory and ensure that all the supplies were delivered on time.

I led the logistics department for a company that I enjoyed the least. It was challenging to manage and lacked the necessary resources to be effective. The staff was also uncooperative and difficult to work with.

I was a warehouse manager for a company that I hated The reason was because it was very disorganized and it was difficult to get anything done. This made it very frustrating to work in that department.
