Pros

Great staff, management could do with a little personality sometimes. The office environment is friendly and it’s quite nice, coffee and tea etc available. Do something most months to keep it exciting. Share scejeme. Easy to access. Good computers, phones and equipment all recently new so it’s nice.

Cons

Just a number, prices are high, managers have their own rules, no holidays in winter. A few people are rude but most are nice. Good Parkin. Negative vibe between staff chatting sometimes. Not a long term career. Pay compared to other companies isn’t good, friends in other places are paid more for less work.

Pros

- Cracking bunch of drivers and fitters. - Wages were always on time and always correct

Cons

- Waited ages for uniform. - Wasn't given a company phone, but still expected to use my personal phone to call customers. - Quite possibly the worst planning I have ever seen. Deliver to one end of the county and the second job is the complete opposite end, third job would take you back to square one. A lot of dead millage... - Office staff would make unrealistic promises to customers regarding delivery times and days, you would then go there a few days later to be moaned at by the customer that the delivery was late and had been promised etc... (this happened multiple times a day) - After having the worst winter in years and been out in all weathers to get the job done, (doing 15 hour days and exhausting the maximum weekly hours you can work as a HGV driver) working towards 'a fantastic bonus' this was later knocked on the head and replaced by an awfully cheap thermos flask... I'm sure you can imagine what that did for morale. Myself along with a few other drivers promptly left very shortly after this....

Pros

Good bunch of drivers and mechanics.

Cons

You are not appreciated as an individual and its all sell sell sell with not thought of how the product is getting out of the door. Pushing drivers to the working hours limit and over sometimes especially in the winter, there is a bonus for not causing damage or miss deliveries but if one driver messes up all drivers pay from their bonus. Treated as a second class citizen. The boss is a micromanager always checking what's going on with no trust in his staff which is a shame as 95% of staff are great.
