Pros

You get a van on your first day and all the (cheap) kit you need.

Cons

Micro management, ever changing job role, bonus scheme is based off negatives, managers are unapproachable, so many needless meetings in your day, time constraints on jobs, travelling over an hour between jobs in an electric van, have to “owe” them half hour of free labour at the beginning and end of each day. Management tell you “if you don’t like it you can leave” when you go to them with an issue. Genuinely worst most toxic place ive ever experienced, don’t waste your time!

Pros

Great career over a decade whilst working there. Under the regime of Phil Bentley (former MD), there was excellent growth, and that provided progression.. Good pension scheme, excellent company car options, healthcare plan, great colleagues

Cons

Current culture of disregard for staff, cost cutting without thinking of actual consequence.. Current morale is very low at all levels including managerial. Too much bureaucracy and internal politics, with processes created for the sake of them being there, and no actual benefit.. Input seems to be taken away from management team too.. Salary lower than competition, Manager bonus scheme seems to become harder to achieve in an attempt to cut costs
