Sewell-Group

Sewell Estates is a busy and diverse part of the company with some great people and teams. Flexibility at Sewell is very good, yes you need to do more hours sometimes, but in turn you get them back when you need an early finish or late start for a personal matter, so it all works out fair in the end. 

Teams support each other and there is a good atmosphere in work places, building relationships is easier than in some places as there are regular briefs and team days/activities. Sewell are good at developing people, most of my team have been or are on academic courses paid for by the company. 

Loved my job with Sewell dunswell, worked for the company for 2 years and was recognised for doing well in my role, staff were great, worked as a team and were very welcoming, unfortunately I left due to a change of manager who brought another employee from another site with them, they made me feel very uncomfortable, making it well known that they didn't like me because I did my job well and was respected by the staff I worked with, this went on for a good few months, they had the area manager believe it was me causing the problems, I had no choice but to leave, all other managers great.

Decent pay and easy job but responsible for drive offs even if they're not your fault.
Shift patterns are awkward and don't fit in with family life.
Constantly pressured to do overtime /cover over people's shifts. Especially nights. 
Get new machines etc and don't give you training. 
Have to sort your holidays out yourself to get cover, mangers don't think it is their responsibility.
Most of staff are nice but some managers are awful, patronising liars and treat you disgustingly because they think they're better than you 

Very difficult place to work if your face doesn't fit.
Well being hasn't been a priority.
Can be very unpredictable.
Haven't been trained whilst here.
Management is indifferent.
Culture has declined over the past 6 years as the company gets larger.

Forecourt staff expected to do all jobs whilst on shift hence the good rate of pay. Constant pressure to work overtime due to high turn over of staffing levels. Shift patterns all over and it’s the rubbish hours that get advertised for job roles,who wants to work every Friday to Monday 6pm till 10pm . You’ll be fine if your face fits. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Colleges and friends  . Having a good laugh 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nobody listening to you if you have a problem 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture was always me me me from management. They always think of themselves not of the workers 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Always the same. Never anything different

Always expected to work lots of overtime and never get a thank you for it. 
Poor management, if your face doesn’t fit and you won’t do as they expect then you get moaned at. 
Very poor work life balance. 

Can't really say how I feel about Sewell, the groundworkers are brilliant set of lads ,bit has for the management that's another matter. Swearing and screaming in the face of apprentice's is unforgivable,also swearing at members of staff 

If your face doesn't fit you're not wanted, If you're looking to be overworked and underpaid for the work you have to their, then this is the perfect job, my advice to people looking, stay away 

Awful company to work for, all.managers think about thereself and u spend most time stopping thieves, managers further up the chain are that far up there own booty it's embarrassing,
