Pros

They have kept going through a very bad recession, keeping the work levels coming in. If you can get it, the uniform is regularly updated and practical.

Cons

Bullies, Expected/demanded, through loopholes in employment contracts, to work over your time without anyextra pay wwhich is, on average, 2 hours each night, 4-5 nights a week, (10 consecutive months, 2014/2015), more heavy freight than parcels, high staff turnover, health & safety issues with heavily pressured staff leading to unnecessary arguments and accidents, a few only a whisker away from death, the list is ongoing.

Pros

Cash in hand wages are good. Easy to get a job - for the following reasons.

Cons

I've never worked at any company where they have lost at least one member of staff EVERY week. No overtime payments made, but many drivers doing at least 1.5hrs overtime every day, due to last collection times. Attendance allowance for the week lost if one day missed meaning a general loss of £140-£160. Being offered a regular route which is then given to other "spare" driver, meaning I became a spare, wasn't put on a regular route (i.e. 2nd manning most of the time, but not with the same main driver so no chance to learn any of the routes) then have the "management" complain that I was bringing too many items back!
