Kibsons is a household name in the UAE for online grocery delivery. Headquartered in the Ras Al Khor Fruit & Vegetable Market, they process thousands of orders daily.
For job seekers, Kibsons offers stability. It is a family-owned business (Latif family) that values long-term employees. However, the work is physically demanding. Most of the staff work in temperature-controlled environments (chillers) to keep the produce fresh, and the day starts very early to ensure same-day deliveries.
The “Kibsons” Reality: Cold & Early
This is a logistics-heavy operation. Here is the reality:
1. The “Chiller” Environment
- The Role: Pickers and Packers work inside refrigerated warehouses (approx 5°C to 12°C).
- The Gear: You are provided with thermal jackets, but you must be comfortable working in the cold for 9 hours a day.
2. The Market Hours
- The Shift: The Fruit & Vegetable market comes alive at 4:00 AM. Many shifts at Kibsons start early (e.g., 5:00 AM or 6:00 AM) to prepare the morning delivery slots.
- The Pace: Orders must be picked, packed, and loaded rapidly. Speed and accuracy are the main KPIs.
3. Direct Employment
- The Benefit: Unlike some delivery apps that use third-party agencies, Kibsons frequently hires staff directly. This means you often get a direct company visa, medical insurance, and on-time salary payments via WPS.
