      Corrupt management

      Pros

      None, mid level management totally corrupt

      Cons

      Mid level management taking back handers from companies for extortionate contracts. Bullying is rife, dishonest management practices to get rid of staff (making up lies and backing each other up to force people out). I'd give zero stars if I could.

      Pros

      Formerly UK MAIL, Company as a whole is improving, reasonable wage for day/office staff. Management proactive in getting everything done. Few different schemes for saving money and training courses available.N

      Cons

      Night shift wage is considerably LOW. 50p more than day shift. In house FLT course is non transferrable. Staff are expected to go above and beyond with workload, can be overworked. Cost management is second to none, unfortunately you feel this working for the business. Company benefits are quite poor compared to some competitors. Drivers are overworked at times, while they are self employed sub contractors, ive seen drivers finishing at 1130pm and coming back in at 5am during some of the busiest times, again where money is always trying to be saved drivers are often coaxed into taking parcels that are clearly overweight.

      Secure job, low pay, freeloader company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very secure job, even if you unable to fullyfill your duties.

      Cons

      Overworking employees. Constantly raising workload, without changing a thing, no salary raises. Often find yourself work your tail off only to get passed over for a promotion that’s given to someone who glad-handed their way to the top. Management making promises to people, but they do not uphold a commitment. No one empathize with employees. No one cares about anything other than your production yield. Employees lower on the rank expected to work every minutes of them contracted hours, while management leaves early every day.
