I would not recommend working here. Most of the managers do not have people skills. Some are 2 faced bully’s. They expect a lot of work for long hours and low pay.

Not the greatest employer

coordinator (Former Employee) - London - 13 March 2022

Poor management and they are not interested when there are problems. Expected to lie to customers. They favour all the yes people and not the actual staff that get the job done

Productive

Courier Driver (Current Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 9 March 2022

Good company to work for. A fast paced environment so need to be very mobile. Hours to suit and additional hours available in the evening or at weekends.

Unproductive workplace

Recruitment Administrator (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 22 February 2022

Less than average pay, unprofessional environment, lack of progression, same tedious regime of cold calling applicants and the rates the drivers make are unfair in comparison to other courier companies

Thieving Company

Self Employed Courier Driver (Former Employee) - Leeds remote - 9 February 2022

They cut you short on jobs just to pocket the money themselves. Even though they're making a cut from every job anyway. They don't care if you have health issues. Your expendable at any time.

Pros

None

Cons

Long hours.

Lucky to get 50p per mile, some work at 43p per mile. Cost of fuel has gone up and yet price per mile stays the same.Can deliver all over mainland UK but for pittance.Would not recommend and will not be working for them again.End up put of pocket to deliver one parcel and they call and try make out you are doing them a favour by earning nothing.

Pros

None

Cons

Low price per mile, no guarantee of work.

Pros

None

Pay is shocking, don't waste you time

A really bad place to work - Drivers are being exploited!!!

Driver (Former Employee) - Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire - 19 November 2021

I have been working for Citysprint for 6 months now, the pay is horrendous. I have no idea how anyone can feed their families with the pay. The hours aren't too bad, some long hours but it seems fair.. however the pay is so terrible, when you deduct fuel, you have literally done the job for free. The controllers in the office are horrible people, they definitely will not give you jobs if you upset them. They are rude and selfish, expect drivers to always help them out and work like a dog with no pay and they have no idea that us drivers are working hard, trying to feed our young children. This company is simply exploiting us drivers so the big people can make money.

Pros

You work on your own.

Cons

No pay and unethical people in the office.

A lot of changes

Manager (Former Employee) - South East - 12 September 2021

City sprint are in a bad state and have been for the past 3 years. They’ve found a buyer in DPD but they have been trying to sell for a long time and because of this they have been forcing out staff for a long time. It is not a respectable or nice place to work and whilst the culture was good 3-4 years ago it’s a shadow of its former self now.

Pros

None

Cons

Bad management, poorly run, unappreciated

Not enough pay to pay your way

Self Employed Courier Driver (Former Employee) - Aberdeen - 9 September 2021

As above , you’ve got to work more or less non stop and take every job that gets sent to you even if it’s a £5 job for 5-10 mile trip but you only get paid one way so it your pocket that pays for the fuel. Having you own van helps but wear and tare is NOT included in your running costs per job

Pros

None

Cons

You MUST work ALL the hours in a day to make it worth your while

Worse company to work for

Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 3 August 2021

They promise you good earning money but you get £5 jobs that you have to travel with your own car and their pay is not enough to pay for your petrol never mind anything else they give a job and when you deliver the item they deduct the money from original pay
