Pros

Easy work - A lot of the time on your own, delivering insurance cars or Sprinters / transits Branch manager real nice guy

Cons

No tea break between 8am and lunch time - Management more focused on how many runs they get done over driving safety and well being of their staff … this no break needs to change and drivers may just stay … look at your staff turn-over rate, you can listen to the workers or you’ll keep losing them, it’s that simple - The staff turnover in this company is nothing short of embarrassing

Pros

Pays the bills, Good BDM team.

Cons

Where to start….. Useless management. New business Team (order takers) get all the praise whilst the Account Managers do all the work. Commission structure is always tailored to New business. Paid in arrears and is always wrong, lucky if you do manage to sort it. Senior management are a waste of time, take it or leave it. Lost load of good people because of this attitude. No career progression, ones that do get promoted into seniors end up redundant. This seems to be a trend same thing every few years.
