Enjoyable part of my job

No two days are the same so never get stuck in a rut, plus all the different people you meet coming in and out of the office, I have a very good relationship with all the drivers and co-workers and the banter flows quite easy.

Awful treatment of staff  total disregard for workers rights, get told regularly if you don’t like it leave  wages are rubbish and wrong every month then just expected to wait a month for the error to be paid, long hours 12,13 hour shifts most days whilst other drivers get shorter 6,7 hour routes  never shared out fairly. Get treated like a second class citizen was once told to Stan£ outside in heavy rain because the office was busy(obviously never went outside). Managers enjoy winding people up then hand the keys out to vehicles knowing full well the driver was unfit to drive, health and safety i# a joke  however they get you to sigh all sorts of stuff to cover their backs, I would rather remove my eyes with a spoon than work here. It’s only when you leave do you realise how bad a place it is and how bad they treat you, seriously avoid this place  if you are in work and are considering leaving DO NOT GO TO FRESH DIRECT. I must of seen 100+ staff members leave in the time I was there  all due to poor treatment

Scammers,liars and couldn't care less for there staff.
Worked for them for 1 shift. Rang the office on numerous occasions explaining that the delivery couldn't be done, only to be told I don't care it needs to get done. Had to park half a mile away from the delivery point and handball a pallet full of produce through a very busy city centre using google maps on my phone as the pallet couldn't get through the barriers. Due to the amount on the pallet it took 6 trips.
Due to this and all the other nightmare drops i had I went over my hours as the transport manager dealing with me kept telling me he was sorry but the deliveries needed to be done.
The director was informed of this but was told lies, apparently I was not told to complete deliveries and do what i did and that they couldn't contact me as my phone was off.
They told me that my services was no longer required and they didn't pay me!!
If anyone is thinking about working for these snakes DONT!!!! or  please be very careful!

The company is very poorly organised, everyone expected to do the job of 2/3 people, some good people work there & there are days of acceptable workloads & things being straightforward, unfortunately the good days get overshadowed by the bad, the workload & unacceptable hours keep growing, the pallets you need to offload before bollards go up are placed at the back of the truck, the last shift I did couldn't hold the pallets they had me down to deliver, shifts are given that can't possibly be done within drivers hours, there's regularly van drivers kept spare with zero workload that could take a few pallets to pick up the slack from class 2 drivers & give them a days work that can be done rather than mission impossible, I'm not posting just to warn future class 2 drivers, I'm hoping management will pick up on my complaints & rectify things, I won't hold my breath.

It will do for a while, until you find something better, but it really is the bottom rung of the ladder as far as jobs go.

Typical day at work is very busy, as you will to have to cover for most of the reviewers here, who turn up to work in New York, despite the company clearly being based in Bicester.

There are a few talented managers, but most are limited, both by their ability, and the desperate need to please the owners. regardless of logic. 

Career progression is a game of snakes and ladders, and you will find a snake eventually.

Most of my co workers seemed alright, but as I don't speak Polish, I can't be sure

Remuneration is below par, and staff turnover is very high, Although the Americans who don't turn up for work every day still haven't been sacked.

It's a good short term fix if you are unemployed, but don't expect a long term career, or job fulfillment

A typical day for this company was pretty good, I would arrive at work for 5.30am and be ready to leave the depot at 6am, my vehicle would already be loaded.  My deliveries where to schools in the liverpool area, I would normally be finshed no later than 2pm.  I would speak to customers on a daily basis and built a great relation with them as I had a regular route which was the same customers each week.  The management were approachable for any issues I had.  I got on really well with my colleagues, I would only see them in the morning as we would all gather our keys and paper work from the office before departing for our route.  The hardest part of the job was the heavy lifting of the fruit and vegetables and it was'nt every day.  The most enjoyable part of this job was being out on the road and meeting people.

Not sure where to start, so no health and safetya, expect you to buy own ppe, wages never paid correctly, no on job training, salary workers put with hourly(hourly in no rush) management talk to you like something the stood in, be warned if you want to work for Mickey mouse try Disneyland Paris failing that this is the nearest you will get in the uk. Owner fails to pay wages correctly when complain get told don't like it leave, we interviewing a driver a day, what they forget to say is the struggle to keep a driver a week find any person that works there that says been paid correct every payday and il say you just met a liar. Don't say you werent warned, apply if desperate and no bills faing that AVOID AVOID AVOID.

I have worked in a number of different Contact Centres and Customer Service roles and this is by far the best...we are encouraged to be ourselves, to own and resolve issues, to take responsibility and own our own tasks and workloads. It is not call after call after call - so different from other places.
The Team Leaders and Management are great to work with and for, and loads of my team have progressed into other roles internally. We were really looked after during the Covid pandemic, and it is great to have the reassurance of working for a large corporate but feeling like you work in a close knit friendly team

What is the best part of working at the company?
Free food and good pay. Unfortunately there is nothing else good about the place. High turn over of staff and there is always a manager waiting to pounce on to you. Extremely high accountability. Toxic environment around the offices with staff stabbing each other in the back

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The toxic environment and the management

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Extremely poor. Corporate company

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyday the same. Grievances and other staff stabbing you in the the back. Management are unprofessional

First thing I do is to swith my computer on, check my email for mails that might have come in over night and also any pop up from outlook. I then check the online banking to see who has made any payment then I print off so that I can allocate to the sales ledger.

I have learnt a lots of excel command eg. v-lookup.

My co-workers are indeed very helpful and my manager is very supportive and is never too busy to help you with your work.

The hardest part of my job is the walk from the station to the workplace, but I use this time as my daily power walk session.

The most enjoyable part is the laughs and chats from my co-workers.
