Parcel Sorter/Warehouse Operative in Swansea, Swansea
on 28 November 2023
It sucked.
working there was horrible, especially for the nightshift. transport from the city Centre to the warehouse would cost you 30-40% of your paycheck and break times were inconsistent at best. the only good thing about was, if you were a student with a max 20 hour work week, you could easily work 2 days and be done with it since they only allow 8 hours per shift. even the good comes with a bunch of ba...

Clueless management, strict time schedules and poor pay. Working over 60 hours a week to earn not even 30k. The atmosphere at the depot is ok but it really can be stressful, woul destroying work

Too many wannabe bosses
When I started with the company 12 years ago, it was great. Management would bend over backwards to help if you needed it.Nowadays you are just a number, not a member of staff.Quite often you will be told to do a route and not have time for a lunch break. If you call the depot you're lucky if anyone answers and if they do they say they can't help.A good company to work for gone very bad.
