Have got a high staff turnover and even if you work hard it is worth nothing and you'll find yourself in difficult situations and even lose your job. All about pleasing certain managers, not about completed tasks due to priority or business needs. No organized approach, had a list of tasks to do then have to drop all of them because another task needed completing. Tasks not completed on priority but who for, managers who are awful and moan the most get their work carried out first. Abysmal, awful management. It's like trying to do the role with two hands behind your back.
There is ever increasing responsibilities and lack of communication. Large projects just not been realistic, there are short timescales for the jobs you are carrying out without any thought of how long and how to carry them out. There is poor communication, with ever changing goalposts as to what is happening. Forced to carry out tasks, even though not stated in job description or at interview. Told I had to carry out two certain tasks which I never would have joined Uniserve had I known but that is the way it works, get someone in then they have no choice but to do it.
Within Uniserve there is a lack of work ethic and standards. It seems to be the “Uniserve Way” to just get it done cutting as many corners as possible. Overall Uniserve is in a complete mess and I couldn't work in it any longer. My confidence has been completely drained, The company is constantly firefighting, there doesn’t seem to be enough common sense and people to make good sound decisions. Management show no interest in a good job completed. Lots of good people on the ground, miss some of them a lot.
They keep on having to open new accounts as the feedback is so poor, please see Uniserve Group as well for feedback!

A typical day is pretty fast-paced with a mix of getting your head down on your own work and jumping in with the team when needed. No two days are exactly the same, which keeps things interesting. I’ve picked up a lot along the way, especially around problem-solving, managing priorities, and just learning to roll with things when plans change.

Management are supportive and easy to approach, which makes a big difference. There’s a great team culture  – people are helpful, and everyone just gets on with it without too much fuss.

The hardest part is probably juggling deadlines when everything lands at once, but you get used to it. The best part for me is the team, but also the satisfaction of delivering high-level results for the brands I manage and the stakeholders I support, especially when everything comes together and you know you’ve smashed it.

Planned for long days. If you run out of time there is no rush to rescue you (speaking from experience). If you have concerns regarding working time and/or driving time they are not interested! Completing deliveries and collections comes first always! Considering how many people work in the office nobody seems to like answering the phone. Driver etiquette is virtually non existent here, you’ll spend way too much time on a morning reporting defects, fixing internal straps on trailers or filling up with ad blu and fuel because other drivers can’t be bothered. I could write a book on how bad this place is.The fact they seem to be constantly advertising for drivers tells you everything you need to know. 

No thanks for a job well done, just criticised all the time. Only way to get on is being friends with the right people. Half the management have no previous experience of being in management or in running a warehouse or how to treat staff. Company is losing customers left and right because they can't provide the service as management are clueless how to run the place. Greedy compnay, wages are shocking for nightshift work, no extra pay for working weekends, bank holidays. Holiday only 19 days, have to book holiday when your shift falls on a bank holiday. Only day off is Christmas day.

How come somebody can advertise a position without stating the pay? 
From personal experience, i can tell you only s*** companies and places to work do this. once you show up for an interview it's like a cold shower. they are looking for desperate people to employ for minimum pay for maximum work. STAY AWAY AND DO NOT WORK FOR COMPANIES WHERE THERE IS NOWHERE STATED WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE FOR YOUR HARD WORK. AND YOU CAN READ ON THE JOB ADVERT ONLY FOR YOU RESPONSIBILITIES 

All I can say is Nepotism is in charge of Tilbury especially the ones who manage the CRM department, I was told I wouldn’t have a future at Uniserve for numerous amount of reasons (which were all lies). The only advice I can give is if you don’t have a family or friend that works at uniserve before you join, just save yourself the hassle and don’t join as the moment you upset someone, they will eventually chase you out the company.

Furthermore they give terrible training, I was told I’d have 1 month worth of training however they had only given me 1 weeks worth of training.
