Work life balance.. there isn’t
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Portsmouth, Hampshire - 15 June 2020
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedGSSL are good as a company but managers have so much pressure on them.. paid on time but the invoices are slow. Amazon are a nightmare company who don’t give a flying big one about any delivery driver there is.. you are just a number to amazon. Salary is poor at a flat rate especially if you have to rent a van through them at 220 a week - no fuel is covered as mentioned in the advert - you won't get out on the open road until 12pm and will work until you have done all your deliveries which can take up to 7/8 hours sometimes more.. although this review is mainly pointed at Amazon unfortunately for me it lays to the company that are contracted with them. Oh yeah one last thing amazon always believes the customer regardless
Pros
Hard to think of any - you got a job I suppose
Cons
Poor money, no fuel covered, hard to get bonuses

Unpleasant environment
Driver (Former Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 18 July 2021
Parcels wouldn't be given fairly, so you end up on long routes for the same pay and getting almost minimum wage. Bad management. Would be rung on your day off expected to work and told you have to be available 6 days a week. No benefit of being self employed. Staff not treated fair.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Bad management

Excellent company
Driver (Current Employee) - Doncaster, South Yorkshire - 14 June 2021
I've worked with GSS for quite some time now and enjoyed pretty much every minute of it. From time to time it can become stressful but that's the same for any job. It's very rewarding and you get to meet plenty of people which is great for me. Met some amazing new friends. Management are truly amazing and help in every way possible to make the job easier and more understandable.
Pros
Good money, meeting new friends

Jobs at GSS Ltd
Long Hours, minimal pay
Driver (Former Employee) - Hedge End, Hampshire - 29 March 2021
You'll be enticed with pay of £140 a day, but after van rent (around £30 a day, so the best way to make money is by using your own van) and fuel (around £15 a day depending on where you're delivering to), you're left with around £85. Considering the standard working day for me was 12 hours ( 9 hour shift, and travel to and from home to the depot, and from the depot to your daily route), £85 a day really isn't worth sacrificing your social life for (you'll be required to work these hours every weekend too). You'll be asked to turn up to "sign in" at a specific time, but won't actually be on the road for at least another hour later, once the van has been loaded. Can't fault the management at all, they seemed friendly and helpful for the short time I was there. You'll also be using your phone all day, so a good phone is a must, as your battery will be drained in no time.

Waste of time.
Delivery Driver Multi Drop (Former Employee) - Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire - 23 February 2021
Extremely disappointed by Go service solutions! In the contract they promise you the world and more , great salary and great deal . Until you start working for the company and its the complete opposite, you pay more for the van than anything else , fuel is NOT covered. The onboarding process is a joke , took 2 months to be onboarded with the company . Management is very unorganised and training is poor ! Highly disappointed and wouldn’t recommend working there . Gained nothing from this experience and wasted 3 months of my life .
Pros
None
Cons
Too many !

Awful
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Southampton, Hampshire - 20 February 2021
Delivering for amazon is ok but work for gssl and doing it is terrible, Manger’s (if that’s what you call them) just give you a route and that’s it, no help when struggling to compete work on time most days except to do 10/14 hour days, amazon sets the routes and they are awful gssl did nothing to help with the problems they amazon had with this, would recommend getting a different job avoid
Pros
It’s a job
Cons
Long hours no management way to much work for pay

Avoid
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Ipswich, Suffolk - 18 February 2021
Poor management, don't care about the drivers , they only want money from Amazon.Long working hours ,no bonuses always add something "to do " on their list about the drivers and how they should act. You can't take a break like a normal person Max 15 mins per day.
Pros
Sometimes good days
Cons
If you want to be a slave go to work for them

Awful Company. Would give a no stars is possible
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Doncaster, South Yorkshire - 22 July 2020
Did a days work for GSS and I wish I hadn’t. Through the interview the managers were talking badly about staff. Only question asked was if I’d been a delivery driver before (which I hadn’t) and then I was given all the job paperwork to fill in. Had to supply my own high vis and work boots which I was not informed about till I got questioned why I didn’t have them on my training day. Job described as being in Selby. Before the interview I was told it would start in Doncaster but finish in the selby area which I was fine about. Finish my shift n then told I had to drive back to Doncaster to finish my shift. Didn’t get a break or to even use the toilet for 11hours, till I got back home. Still haven’t been paid for my petrol, training or my days pay. Awful company. Do not recommend at all.
Pros
Gets you out the house
Cons
Lies about the job. Poor pay if you can get it. No chance for breaks. No chance to use the bathroom.

Experience
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Banbury - 7 January 2020
Not a perfect job. You work until delivery all what you have. Sometimes route longer than 9h, but sometimes you finish after 4-5h work. You take brake- you work longer.
