Pros

Overtime was sometimes available if you required it, flexible work, discount card.

Cons

Our Department had a high turnover of new drivers quitting on the basis paid poorly for the amount of tasks they expected, trying to implement rules that were just not practical such as 29 minute early only so if an hour ahead you had to waste 31 minutes sitting around instead of being able to get on with and finish earlier, management was badly managed and any complaint to Section Leaders usually went unheeded meaning had to go above them all the time to get results which resulted in petty behaviour from one certain Section Leader, shifts changed on a dimes notice or if you were meant to finish by a certain time rarely did they actually assign a delivery run that finished at that time and was usually an hour over which had you been allowed to deliver earlier wouldn’t be a problem but again the 29 minute rule came into play, £7.50 wage for what should be a specialised highly paid job especially when it’s our driving license on the line not to mention having to load our own vans when (usually) loading staff were not available due to them not being in/not enough of them or picking orders off the shop floor.
