Poor Working Conditions and Unhappiness
Many of the reviewers have had negative experiences working for this company. One reviewer had a terrible encounter with a bearded driver named REMI who tried to skip traffic and subjected him to verbal abuse and physical threats. Another reviewer worked for a year with poor working conditions, long shifts, and constant requests for overtime. They also complained about the transport office being unhelpful and the lack of flexibility with shift patterns and days off.
Disorganized and Slow
Some reviewers have also experienced disorganization and slow operations. One reviewer took 90 minutes to load 26 pallets, while another reviewer remembered an incident where one of the company's trucks ran a red light.
Low Pay and Poor Facilities
One reviewer was unhappy with the low pay and poor facilities. They mentioned that permanent employees are entitled to 48 hours' pay, but temporary workers like themselves receive very low pay for what they have to do. They also complained about the lack of electric pump tracks, which they had to use manual pumps, and the risk of breaking their spine.
Good People, Poor Management
However, some reviewers have had positive experiences working with the company. One reviewer enjoyed working with a great bunch of lads and appreciated the help of a colleague named Darren. Another reviewer had a pleasant experience with a helpful colleague named Lisa and enjoyed the snack bar outside the gate.
Unfair Dismissal
One reviewer felt unfairly dismissed for self-isolating and plans to take legal action. Another reviewer was unhappy with the management's lack of respect for drivers and the way they are treated.
