Brakes Group Careers and Employment

Very good wage, induction week was mainly paperwork and videos so felt unprepared for my actual job role. Supposed to be 40 hours a week working night shifts with two days off but is really 43 would be more beneficial to do 4 on 4 off rota so you actually have a life outside of work as the two days off means you can’t easily go back to waking up in the day time. For 28k a year though you can’t complain.

Average at best

Pros - cheap food Cons - too many to list but management only bothered it getting the work done. No interest in peoples wellbeing or health and safety of employees.

Poor management and office staff

Very heavy loads and when you ask for help get told to get your head down and crack on. Maybe the job isn’t for you. Office staff talk you like a piece of dirt.

Management seems to be all for themselves

There is no connection between office staff and warehouse staff. It’s simply us and them. Nights staff are constantly put down due to being forced to do overtime. The back pickers shift is an absolute shambles. Higher management look through the workers as if they don’t exist. Team managers where excellent though an always went above and beyond to help.
