Getir reviews

This is different from a regular courier role, different as in there is literally no time to sit down, no time to eat, no time to even take off your helmet. On average I do about 200 deliveries per week and that’s with me being lazy sometimes and taking stops in between deliveries to warm my feet or to have a sip of water etc. This role requires you to be on your feet the whole shift as the device they give you to receive orders is expected to be online the whole shift. If that device is off it should only be off for toilet and lunch break. Breaks are not paid for. Also any other reason why it would be off you would get ur manager breathing down your neck asking why is it off, and also because your feet are cold isn’t good enough reason. In other words they expect you to work like a donkey. If you put it into perspective, if I did all them hours and deliveries on Uber-eats or deliveroo I would very possibly be on a 50k+ wage. This is not over exaggerated trust me ask any getir courier how many deliveries they do working full time. My main reason for writing this review- when it’s time for pay day. The payroll team are sleeping. They send payslips late even up to 2 days late. They get your hours wrong and your manager in the store will simply point to the bottom corner of the page and say “there’s the payroll teams email please email them” with the most sarcastic and patronising tone. You have no voice I.e. if something were to be wrong you wouldn’t know who to go to, at one point when my manager was so useless giving me the same email over and over again I felt I needed to go to head quarters and start a strike that’s how low I felt that no one would listen no emails would get responded to no matter the urgency whether you need rent to pay they don’t care. They just care about your device being online to receive orders. Not forgetting this is a new company so they are literally headless chicken from managers to franchise owners. Your best person of advice is yourself and your solicitor and a functional camera for evidence of negligence :)

After only one month in that hell I was completely physically exhausted and psychologically drained. The employees there are treated in a very dismissive, rude and slavish way. Unbelievably heavy workload, having to break your back for hours, always short-staffed. Lifting and carrying heavy loads for most of your shift, having to deal with huge deliveries that arrive to be processed and stock away as late as 00:00…when the store is supposed to close at 00:00!!! Absolutely zero respect, getting calls from your managers as early as 8:00am and as late as 11:00pm, constantly changing the rota (which is posted on Saturdays for the oncoming week, only two days before the start of it), WhatsApp never stops buzzing as the company is run on there instead on on proper channels like email, Slack or other internal platforms. You will be added to untold groups that will never stop pinging. Complete lack of training and of proper tools provided. And complete lack of organisation or common sense followed. A very toxic corporate environment, where people’s ideas, suggestions or complains where never listened, and openly dismissed or belittled, sometimes in front of everyone, like on those aforementioned WhatsApp groups. Also, a very hazardous workplace, always cluttered and unsafe. Massive waste of food. The company throws away lots of close to expiration products, choosing to put it in the bin rather than giving away to the staff or to food banks. Utterly shameful. Obsession and constant pressure on the KPIs, it’s the only thing they care about. Targets that you will rely on, will always be made accountable for but, on the other hand, have very little control over given the workload you endure and the tools you will be given. I do not know how this company has thrived in Turkey, my guess it is that the labour regulations are not very developed there yet. But I hope someone stops them and makes them accountable here in the UK soon.
