Good place to work but not recommend work 0 hour contract

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
its a safe and huge space to work, nice people around there, sometimes a bit challenging routing shifts but if you are a hardworker, worth it. 12 hours shift usually are easier than 8 hours!

Mentally and physically debilitating

What is the best part of working at the company?There isn’t a good part I can think ofWhat is the most stressful part about working at the company?Long hours, overtime is paid at standard time. You get less money for being on holiday. Little room for training, company doesn't care if you’re a hard worker What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Poor, lacking, shoddy, shambles What is a typical day like for you at the company?Stressful! You can never do enough for the company, yet they offer little in return

Good but it you dont like being repetitive its not for you

Good pay all you have to do is answer phone calls and fill out forms. Only problem is that you sit for long periods of time.co workers were also helpful and friendly .

Good for work experience

Working with Addecco saved me, as not many others were willing to take in somebody with little to no experience. Had consistent back to back jobs with them, though I know this won't be consistent, and it's definitely not a reliable form of income. But it's great for getting some work experience under your belt, while not necessarily being something I see myself doing long term.

Decent

Positive Work Environment: The workplace provided a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere.

It often required extra time and effort to meet deadlines and complete tasks.Lack of Time Management Tools: There was a noticeable absence of effective time management tools or systems, which made it difficult to track and manage workload efficiently.Break Management: The management of breaks was not ideal. There were instances where it was challenging to take adequate breaks or find a suitable time to relax during the workday.Compensation: The compensation package was not competitive compared to industry standards. It did not adequately reflect the level of commitment and effort required for the role.

Nice work place only thing is it gets hectic and managers can be a pain

Fast paced, only get a break when you’re on your break other than that you’re on your feet all day. Pay should be more £300 a week doesn’t get you anything these days. Intense and fast paced.

Pros

Free coffee

Cons

Too much work for not enough pay

No one takes ownership here.

The agency is soo bad. Holidays are a joke. No one helps they hire you but it takes months. They dont pay you correctly and then dont correctly the pay when theyve paid you wrong. AVOID

No guarantee for shifts

The pay you get is good but no guarantee for shifts or for job. Working atmosphere is good. People are good. But you maybe suddenly told that you have no shifts tomorrow. Overtime and holiday pay is good.

Stressful and worst managers

No respect for employees even though working over time for 2 to 3 hours every day. Managers overload employees with work and expect employees to work overtime every day and do not care about employees.

Pros

Insurance benefits

Cons

Stressful work and holistic work environment

Nah

Night shifts were hard to get to and from work. Managers on the shop floor micromanage and the break times were short. Depending on who was responsible for that day, you could be working for 6 hours straight with no break.

Easy job

Overall good environment to work in as you are compensated for overtime by shortening the next day's schedule. Didn't had a proper team to work with though.

Disappointing experience

I was so excited to work as a recruitment consultant, but the cliquey environment, low basic salary and micromanagement made the experience a less pleasant one than I had hoped for.

Bad

Zero hour contracts offers no stability. No flexibility. Bad pay rates. Bad management. Would never work for this company again as long as I live! Terrible
