Pros

Company ok in general, pay & training

Cons

Whistl as a company isnt bad really they do provide decent training however the transport office is a disaster. This goes from the planners that are miles away to the managers in there to the people of the front desk giving paperwork out. The problem is the left hand doesn’t have a clue what the right hand is doing which means the drivers suffer. 13/14 hour days on some occasions for the drivers who have specifically asked for no long hours and the lads who are crying out for the long hours they give 9 max. So much needs doing as the division in the office compared to the drivers is huge and whilst there I didn’t hear a driver say one good thing about the job which a lot left within the time I was there. Zero work/life balance

Pros

The most best reason that make you working with this company is are flexible, when ever you need a break or ever have to move somewhere else for a while and you comeback and you still have your place at the unit, I know the hourly rate is completely Nothing but still the only opportunity for the ones without any qualification :(.

Cons

As been already mentioned, the wages are really ... comparing the effort you doing ( you do the job of two Royamail postie and still getting half what they get paid ), the uniforms also made from cheap quality and if you ask for a spare you will never get another one, the bike: you will be risking your life mates :), target time: you have to kill your self to get that :).

Pros

The team are great and supportive. Clients are lovely

Cons

Feels like senior management are out of touch with the real needs of their employees. When things are fed back multiple times, they are used as box ticking exercises and then brushed off.
