Aspect-Maintenance

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some flexibility in choosing availability, but that’s about it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
During my time working with Aspect Maintenance as a commercial gas engineer, the reality of the role was very different from what I expected.

Payment issues were a constant concern. Engineers are often left waiting on outstanding ERP payments, and there doesn’t seem to be much support when customers fail to pay. This means engineers can end up carrying the financial risk for work they have already completed.

The way jobs are scheduled can also be extremely frustrating. I experienced situations where I travelled long distances to attend jobs only to find they had already been completed or were no longer required. When you are self-employed and covering your own fuel, time and expenses, this kind of disorganisation has a real financial impact.

There also seemed to be very little support or understanding from management when issues arose. Instead of resolving problems, engineers are often left to deal with them themselves.

Over time the stress of chasing payments, uncertainty over income and the lack of proper coordination made the job very difficult to sustain. The financial pressure this creates is something prospective engineers should seriously consider before joining.

For any commercial gas engineers with self-respect and looking for stability, I would strongly recommend doing thorough research before committing to work here.

All around awful company. It's up to you to get most of the work. 
You spend all day just ripping people off be prepared  to get in trouble  if you have a kind heart. 

Be prepared to be told how to do your work by unskilled  people  who don't know the trade. 

The top engineers  will get the cream of the work, you'll do all the small jobs and if they don't have any leads they will send you home, if you get work yourself you'll need to give them money. 

Quite simply you're better off working for the smaller company's  with holiday and organisation than this. 

Terrible tools and you'll be expected  to work wonders. 

Make sure you keep said tools at the end because  you will not get the last month's money. They'll find anything to take it off you. 
Office staff are appalling will talk to you like chewing  gum on the pavement you're  just a nuisance to them. 

People do well because they are given the good leads. You'll have to put so much effort and work disgraceful  hours to be in for a chance. 

If your a drainage  engineer  like I was, be prepared  to do plumbing, massively  under qualifying engineers  just having a go at the customers  expense. 



working for aspect.co.uk was a nightmare, they regularly ran out of work didnt provide me with promised equipment, and i was under payed on all of my invoices,and impossible to get an explination why just moved from person to person on there unfriendly admin team,they would also ask me to string out jobs to earn more money for them and me, witch is not only wrong but illegal. for instance unblocking a toilet can take as little as 10 mins but aspect would want me to stay onsite for a min of half of a day costing the customer 115+VAT per hour!!!!!!!!!!
the most enjoyable part of this job was leaving and taking them to small claims court (and winning) over under payed wages and charging me random amounts on my wages like nearly £300 for me manditory uniform and they also say they provide a phone, this is manditory and yet you have to pay for the contract, they also pay through an exsturnal company that takes a massive chunk off of you wages this is before you have payed your own tax and insurance £200 per day i was promised but it was more like 1400 per month without fuel and phone cost unless you are willing to exploit and overcharge customers

I’ve been working at Aspect for a month and a half now, and so far it has been a far better experience than any other job I’ve had (in 3 years of post-grad work).

Opportunities for progression have been laid out in a clear, achievable format from the start of my employment, and it’s clear I have the support from the company and management to be able reach my goals. Employees and management at all levels are all very respectful towards each other, which makes for a really enjoyable working environment.

The work-life balance is great and I never feel like I’m being overworked. There are times when we will work overtime, but only as part of major projects and it’s a group effort, so it still makes for an enjoyable atmosphere.

The only drawback is that lunch is only half an hour, however in fairness we also get 15 minute breaks in the morning and afternoon, so this equals out to an hour lunch with no other breaks.

Aspect maintenance has the potential to be an amazing company but it lacks organization and a better management team, I believe they are not qualified or ready to be in such position. My co-workers are amazing, they are young, fun and it is really pleasant to catch up with them. It is a really fast paced job, which I believe it's challenging but it would be better if more people shares the tasks, it would be a calmer place. The funniest part of the job is when you create a bond with your co-workers and some seconds of fun can help you face the busy day and angry customers. The hardest part is dealing with the management.

Estimating all morning, driving from quote to quote. Checking in with ongoing projects before returning to office to coordinate staff, jobs and paperwork.
I learnt to manage my time and forward plan my days to get the most out of them.
Management could be inconsistent which was difficult. But in general they invested in me for which I am grateful.
The work place was fun, vibrant and young but sometimes lacked structure and guidance. 
Managing difficult customers or staff who were sometimes given to me to resolve.
Working as part of a large team of energetic people and structuring a successful sub team that worked well.

I have been with Aspect  for almost a  year and I am really pleased I have joined this company . 
I have been motivated and praised with an award for my hard work and offered opportunity to progress. 
I love the flexibility the job gives me, being able to finish early and still get good pay. 
The field supervisors are incredible, so switched on that I never find myself in a pickle. 
Mostly I like how the company treat me, like a friend/family member which is something I never had in other jobs. 
For anyone who is professional and hard worker join Aspect now and you will be really happy with your choice.

Happy to be spoken to like dirt by the owner of the company if you don't do work outside your contracted hours. 

the office staff have no backbone and are basically just minions for the owner who will just hire and fire people depending on how much substances are in his system that day.

They will try anything to steal your wages and the schedulers all steal each others jobs that you have quoted for.

All in all you can earn money if your prepared to break the law and cheat innocent people out of their hard earned money. 

so if you have morals....stay well clear

 No empathy for their employees or customers. Working in credit control I felt like I was commiting crimes every day. After working there for a few years, I can safely say people should avoid this company in every possible way. Most of the employees are poorly trained in the office. It's a shame as a lot of their engineers were hard-working, honest people who unfortunately worked for terrible management in an awful office. You've been warned - they pay customers to review positively on TrustPilot too...

Aspect feed you good leads throughout the day with good earning potential, most months I earn around £8k but in the winter it is higher and often goes over £10k due to the boiler breakdowns etc (i'm a gas engineer). 
Your earnings arent capped so if you put in the work you will reap the reward, I have seen plenty of engineers earn good money over the years.
There are also opportunities to upskill with things like leak detection, which carries further earning potential. 
You get supplied with a van which is a huge help as well as a work phone.
