I am absolutely thrilled to share my overwhelmingly positive review of my experience working for CLS. Let me tell you, it's been an absolute delight and the perfect place for me to thrive professionally.

A typical day at work here is like a magical journey that spans around 10 hours. Each day brings exciting challenges and opportunities for growth, keeping me on my toes and engaged in my tasks.

Finally, the most enjoyable part of the job is the sheer satisfaction that comes from making a difference and contributing to the company's success.

In conclusion, I can confidently say that working for CLS has been a dream come true.

They talk a big game about how they support you with Amazon but when it comes down to it you are easier to replace than it is for them to ruffle feathers. There is a really high staff turnover for a reason and that reason is management. You can be sent an hour away from your depot to your delivery area effectively knocking 2 hours from your permitted work day but you still get a full route to deliver. 

They do offer van rental including insurance  but you're hiring the van from a trading name of Celerity and you'll be charged more than they tell you at interview. The vans are in questionable state when delivered (unless you're incredibly lucky) and you are encouraged by management not to mention any mechanical issues you might have in your daily required vehicle checks (because it will inconvenience them having a vehicle out of rotation). They'll charge you for damage to the vehicle that will not be repaired.

Speaking of charges expect a lot of them. The stated wage sounds good but expect much less every week. Use the fuel card? You'll pay pump price even though they have a negotiated rate.

Do not expect support from the management. They've just culled one of their long time bosses and they'll look out for themselves before having your back should anything happen.

I have with the company more than 4 years, and start as a driver. Everyone it's rated based on his performance, so as time you do your job responsibilities there are no issues. With the payments there are no problems, if there are mistakes, as time you address on time are fixed fast. As working hours there are days and days, some times easy some times harder, but mainly depends how you manage your work. For people that like to make money without doing nothing I don't recomand, as will be a very demanding job with a management problem if make sense what I am saying. For the time that I was a driver, the management was ok, helpful with the issues on road and supporting me when I had problems, now I am in the position when I have to support the drivers and basically I am doing what I have learn inside of the company, support and guide to achieve the best results as a team. As work stability - being for several years with the company should say something. Money - I can't complain, always depending on how long I was willing to work, what was said it was paid, and for the time that I had company rented van, because I took care of the van and consider as my own I did not had any issues or paying extra for damages. 

Wouldn't work for them they don't seem to care about the drivers. One day I was in the middle of nowhere and broke down with a flat tyre they told me to drive to q garage and get fixed and got funny at me when couldn't do that... the van rental is 200a week and you ate liable for everything to cover fuel,oil,screen wash,ad blue, dents,scratches,punctures you have pay for the lot... I had a accident one day on route wich was 50-50 I had pay back the damages I didn't even get asked how much I could afford to pay each week they decided there selfes how much it would be and was some weeks I was left with 0 because didn't work enough to cover the money..the management  all care about the Parcels getting out not the care of the workforce as when had heat wave had no money buy drinks I told them I collapsed and felt ill and couldn't finish route off they told me to bring van back to depot and be sacked.... also you get told be at depot for 11.50 don't get parcels untill 12.26 then drive atleast 45 mins to first drop over in Newport and the amount work given don't finish untill atleast 20.00 to 22.00 

Working for this delivery management company was an exercise in constant frustration. While the core job of delivering parcels to customers can be rewarding, the management culture made it nearly impossible to succeed.
The primary issue is a total lack of communication; drivers are often left in the dark about route changes or vehicle issues until the last minute. Planning is consistently poor, with unrealistic delivery windows that force you to choose between safety and meeting quotas. Furthermore, management often treats drivers as "just a number," showing little respect for personal time or physical well-being.
Support is virtually non-existent if you encounter trouble on the road. Instead of offering solutions, supervisors often resort to blame-shifting. For anyone seeking a stable environment with fair treatment, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Unless you are desperate for immediate work, the high turnover and toxic atmosphere make this an average at best, and usually poor, workplace.

Notice how it's only the good comments off area managers? Let me put it in perspective for you from a delivery driver side.

The wage isn't £800, after you've paid off the van that you rent and paid for fuel you're left with pennies. 

Sometimes you may not even be out driving and you're off that day but you'll only find out at around 8pm the night before if you're going to be working the next day.

Be prepared for an hour's drive before you even start your first delivery, they had us leaving Warrington and delivering in Wrexham, which is a shocking place to drive.

If you get given an easy day with minimal drops, be prepared for a long day because you will be debrief and have to wait till everyone is finished and you have to meet up with them and take stuff back to the depot in Warrington. 

Also if you decide to leave and give the van back, they charge you for damages that was already on the van prior to you recieving it and as soon as you say you're leaving they stop paying you.

Appauling management, had to chase my payment countless times. Ridiculous amount of stops. Be prepared to finish anywhere between 8-10pm 
No duty of care from management at all. Broke down on my route and called management and they couldnt less and told me to drive to a garage with the van door open with all the parcels inside. Didnt properly show me how to load and how everything works at the depot in Exeter. They’ll tickle you with the pay (that you’ll have to chase to get) if you do eventually get it that is. They then charge £200 per week for a van and dont pay any fuel like the claim to do. Complete and utter waste of energy turning up and working for these people. Currently in the process of contacting the ombudsman and if that doesnt work then i will proceed with the small claims court. Feel like i havent had any mutual human respect from this company (Exeter managers) 

The people within celerity  (the drivers) are really a bunch of good people but the osm (management) will lie to you and go as far as putting job reviews in to match the false advertisement in person of how much you will earn simply the truth. You will be a well below minimum wage worker (£60-£70 a day take home). They will expect you to do 9 hours work for that. The benefits are not even awarded and if they are it’s due to favouritism. You will get let go when not needed anymore so there is no job security. Management is one of the worst managements I’ve seen in a long time, everyone knows better than the other to a point even a osm tells a director what to do here; joke. They charged someone £500 for a damaged mirror that costs £80 brand new. Other than that it’s a normal Amazon working day like any other dsp.

Beware everyone before applying for this role. The management, especially some little dweeb are the worst to work for. The structure is completely unfair. If you’re friends with management, they’ll give you the easy route with less parcels. Please be extremely wary if you’re applying for this role, only apply if there’s literally nothing else for you but keep continuing to find something. If the manager got back to me with answers about my personal query, then I wouldn’t have needed to write this. Silly little man… also, the more your drivers keep leaving parcels unattended outside my home, the more I’ll continue to damage everyones bonus by providing negative feedback about my delivery. 

They say the job is permanent but they’re actually just hiring when short staffed then letting people go if when they don’t need extra people anymore. Also don’t bother working here if you are human because if you miss one day by being ill they will just fire you on the spot. They have absolutely no human skills or empathy and expect you to be available at their every call all the time. You also won’t find out your shift until about 9-10pm the night before so you don’t know if you’re working the next day or not. They promise a lot of things to ease you in then chuck you straight in as well. You are basically screwed if you want to do the job long term unless you are the managers favourite
