Good for temp work

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
Company ensure you are paid including holiday pay. Always helpful. Be aware that positions are mainly temping ones so you can get laid off with no warning

It's just another use and abuse agency

No dress code just take basic documents to sign your life away for a interview Very friendly to get you into work but when you are there communication is non existing Work hard get the job and your week in hand will be ignored as they will keep it for themselves Go full time I understand in experience go with agency but they are rip of merchants especially this one

Pros

A job start

Cons

Take your week in hand and ignore commutation when you have a problem

Soul destroying

What is the best part of working at the company?The holiday allowance is above minimum and they give your your birthday off What is the most stressful part about working at the company?No matter how hard you work, how much you give it will never be enough. They have unrealistic expectations of staff expecting you to pull candidates and clients out of thin air. They have managers in place who don't know what planet they are on let alone how to manage people and are continually throwing people under the bus for their mistakes! What is the work environment and culture like at the company?To sum it up in one word Toxic !!

Boring work Team leader was shocking

Supervisor on the 2-10 shift no communication between certain employees had his own little “group” didn’t make me feel welcome at any point I didn’t feel as though I could approach the supervisor on 2-10.. money was decent but other than that I wouldn’t recommend it.

Pros

Decent Wage

Cons

Boring work shocking supervisors

Don’t pay what you worked

Acorn don’t like paying the employee for the hours they have worked. I would avoid! They lie about the hours you are to work and are basically a shambles! AVOID

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Too much to write! Just avoid this agency

Overall brilliant experience.

This agency put me through for 2 jobs and i can say even though it didn't work out on my end they treated me well and never was a penny short. The hours were long for the job i was in.

Great if you want a job quickly

Applied on a Thursday, started following Monday. Two weeks assignment turned into 10 years of continuous employment within the same company until I decided I had enough of doing 12 hour shifts. Paid very well weekly, and the wages were spot on every time.

Pros

Great wages and relatively local to me

Cons

12 hour shifts

Bait and switch

I worked for them in the summer of 2021 in the steel works in port Talbot. In the interview which was more of a sales pitch. The world was promised but even a oily car sales man would be put to shame with the undelivered promises

Great staff

The ladies in the Widnes office are spot on. They genuinely did everything possible to find me the perfect job. Highly recommend contacting the Widnes office for work,

Corrupt and intolerant

I have never worked for such a corrupt and intolerant company in all my life! Management blocking progression, stealing from the company to line their own pockets and treating staff like dogs! I don’t know what their like to work for else where but this company is a sinking ship in the steelworks.If you don’t enjoy life or spending time with your loved ones then this is the company for you. They’ll cancel your holidays at last minute and laugh at the concept of “work life balance”. Modern day slavers!

Pros

Free car parking

Cons

No work life balance, no chance of progressing your career further, poor wages unless you want to live in work, lazy lying management.

Good pay

Good rate of pay Shame there is no security as it’s a temp role having said good company to work for i have been with them for 6 months and it’s got me thru lockdown with work however I will be moving on to a permanent job as soon as I can but will be staying til I do

Pros

Good psy

Cons

Only temporary work

No job security here, ok for Xmas cash

BEWARE of this ploy“possibility of a permanent contract after 12 weeks. “ if it’s battery manufacture, it should read “ possibility of high lead in blood count.” After 3 weeks. 2 years minimum employment, to be considered a permanent contract. Prepare to start your shift, then BOOM! Redundant! No warning. holidays owed any wages outstanding are void. In the Argus, last year, 80 people bye bye.

Pros

Showers

Cons

Boring, lead poisoning, locker thieves
