They tell you at interview it is 10 hour nights but it's more like 7 Currently working less than 30 hours for 4 nights!! You get £10 per night shift allowance but they take it off you with no explanation. No progression unless you do exactly what they say when they say it this includes working extra hours for free and managing departments on minimum wage. The 2 senior managers have you slaving away all night, talk to you like dirt and have no interest in progressing anybody unless you becoming their dogs body just getting the job done as quickly as possible. This company will severely damage your confidence as a person but initially will suck you in with promises of progression and big salaries which never happens. They currently have teenagers and foreign staff running full departments of staff with no management experience for an extra 50p per hour because there the only people who will do it!

None
Make a note of your hours as they will screw you at every opportunity 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being paid correctly, bad planning and several items always missing resulting in customers being extremely rude 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic , favourites with management get short easy runs and if your not expect 13 hour days

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, long and takes far longer than it should due to bad planning

My first week I assumed no one could speak English, til the shift manager came back from holiday and realised they all were ignorant! I have personally seen a superior getting new naive young employee to stick their head in a bucket to take a smell of potent dangerous chemicals. Floors are slippy and forced to carry extremely sharpe knifes in ur back pocket then get rollocked off management for having it in ur pocket. Breaks are when they choose and u leave when orders are compete!  All staff are rude!

Not good at all, Management are there for themselves, do not care about the staff that do all of the work, They go on about Company Values but they never use them unless they want to get rid of a challenger!!

William Jacksom Food Group NEED to look into how this place is ran operationally first, then.the purchasing team (Keep buying, when shelves are fuller than full) making our lives hard daily 

How the big boss can give the Vs to someone on a company meeting and get away with it, is in itself pathetic!! 


The job is easy day to day  load the van and deliver the load. The head office distribution is terrible  mis-loaded pallets, late deliveries, even mixed crates! This is being over hauled slowly as they have been taken over a year ago. Local management are fair and friendly, although the routes are still very poorly planned and frankly I left because of the extra hours this caused to my day daily . If you’re local then they are a good employer and will take care of you  you are llocal to them they are a worth while

nothing was enjoyable about my time at this company. Toxic environment people too involved in other peoples personal life's  and some of these people had so much spare time on hand to gossip about people behind their back.

And management has no sense of direction on what they doing  very negative attitude towards new employees not giving someone a chance just because they have a opinion about you already made in their head.

Good team in the area I worked in the dry side of the warehouse with the team lead willing to help and support where needed, very approachable and helped me alot to settle in. The department has so much to do with very limited supplies of basics and no top support from higher management. Could be a good place to work full time with a few changes. The company need to look at more about prioritising staff and equipment over quick profits. 

Promise you the world during interview. Long hours,ridiculous expectations,spoken to like your  a piece of dirt,not a friendly place to work.transport manager of the nelson depot is an accountant, not a real transport manager.the staff turnover is so high,staff leaving or being sacked that it has a knock on effect which  means the orders are not picked on time which means the wagons/vans are not loaded on time and go out late.

Was a good place to work to start off early starts early finishes. Pay was ok and never worked weekends which is always a bonus. Management were really good and always helped out aswell which rare. I left for more money elsewhere and since then its all changed more drops/runs work weekends now also. Management has changed also. Not bad for a stopgap job 

i have worked here since 2013 and couldnt have a bad word said about the company. it is a family based business who reward very well to those who work hard. it is a very busy company which demands the best. i started on the shop floor and have progressed to senior management in that time. i would highly recomend wellocks for a serious career path
