Nightmare

Production Operative (Former Employee) - Wrexham, Wrexham - 21 October 2023

If you want soul destroying work for minimum wage then this is the place for you. Never know how long you'll have a job for, the agents are about as useful as a chocolate teapot

No work after a couple of hours and sent home

Packer (Former Employee) - Heywood, Greater Manchester - 25 August 2023

There was no work after a couple of hours and then made to just walk about and look busy. Also management didn’t know what they was doing And very forgetful. Forgot I even had previous holidays booked off as the agency and the warehouse staff do not communicate Worse job ever and wouldn’t go here. You will be sent home most of the week or walking about bored looking for stuff to do.

Overall they were efficient and kind

Warehouse operative (Current Employee) - Norwich pasta foods - 26 June 2023

Gap trading in Norwich provided me with a decent position at one of there warehouses and got back to be within a few days therefore, can’t complain. The interview process was quick and not stress free really. I made a mistake on my first day and the manager of the agency gave me a loft back home to grab my things and head back in time for my first shift. I was called before and after my first day to just check in which, was nice so Norwich agency looks like they’ve got it on lock.

Pros

Attentiveness

Cons

Long hours

Dreadful communication

General Operative (Former Employee) - Sutton-In-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire - 27 April 2023

Dismissed from what was advertised to be an ongoing assignment without any prior notice and given no explanation as to why. I've since had my phone calls avoided/ignored so couldn't recommend.

Absolutely vile management

Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - 24 March 2023

If you have an ounce of respect for yourself DO NOT work with these. You're treated like dirt and if you have an issue at work agency they say they'll find you somewhere else and never contact you again. There's plenty of other agencies to work for.

Pros

You earn a wage

Cons

Rubbish 🗑

Not worth the hassle

Farm Worker (Former Employee) - Hackthorn, Lincolnshire - 18 January 2023

Very poor company to go with through employment. Nice enough people but once you sign the dotted line you are left with their client company with no/inefficient training. They do not check up with you (which was promised) and they do not follow up to make sure the employee has received any training. Only care about their portfolio and getting positions filled. Avoid.
