Shocking health and safety practices
Arborist (Former Employee) - Wiltshire - 12 July 2021
If your looking to get a job here. Please consider your health and well being before hand. Management have 0 idea of basic health and safety policies. If you don't do the dodgy stuff required of you daily you'll soon find yourself on the outside. Jobs surveyed by staff who don't have the knowledge of what the job actually entails. Oh and don't let them tell you that they supply good kit because they don't. If you need a new paor of boots "well have to see what's in the budget" if you need any specialist kit for a job they "haven't put the money on the job". Basically your expendable. They'll tell you your a 'family' you really aren't.
Pros
Few
Cons
They won't pay for any additional training you require. Promise you the earth deliver on none of it

Lift to work
Cons
Too much driving long distance

New Build House Cleaner (Former Employee) - Derbyshire - 21 May 2021
Never once did they pay me right and they argued every last penny. Poor handling of expenses and you are pressured to do overtime beyond your contract hours.

Management are dreadful
Traffic Management Operative (Former Employee) - Totnes, Devon - 10 March 2021
The work itself is great, but the management are diabolical! Complete lack of communication between office staff and us workers, no sense of idea as to what's happening one day to the next. They will happily leave you the dark and not inform you what so ever, your promised a call back which never happens and your made to be the bad guy.Complete lack of professionalism from these guys, do not recommend.
Pros
Getting a call from the office staff to find out what's happening
Cons
The management

Poor senior Management
Manager (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 28 February 2021
Senior managers are vindictive if you say anything out of line. Any suggestions are ignored . We know bestA typical day at work could finish with a 14 hour shift, high levels of stress due to no assistance from senior personal, no management structure in place to monitor Quantity surveyors, managers, supervisors, contractors or general operatives which leaves huge pressure on anyone actually trying to carry out their role.Hardest part of the job was carrying out your role and many others roles too, who where not carrying their own weight, based on senior management having a blame culture despite being told they dontBlame gores all the way down the line as Senior Managers and directors try to hide their own inadequate performance This led to poor communication, throughout the company, huge losses on time and finances for the company and everyone involved, from staff to clients.
Pros
none
Cons
see above

Shocking
Pay is poor, I had to drive a van and didn't get payed any extra. They give you an impossible amount of work to do and act as if it is your fault.All machines are better of sent to scrap.Management are shocking dont even know why they are there. It seems the Team leaders have to do everything a supervisor is supposed to do. Ask for any ppe and you will have to wait around 2 months for it.
Pros
Guys in the squad were hard workers.
Cons
Everything

Disgrace and waste of time
Senior Management (Former Employee) - London - 28 October 2020
This company is a disgrace and a waste of time, they promise the sun moon and stars but never deliver, no assistance or help ever provided but always promised, you are over worked and under paid, illegally they promise over time payments and make you work up to 14 hours a day and never fulfill their requirement to pay over time, their managers and directors are ill trained and ill equipped to carry out their roles.Directors and managers tasked with running construction sites have no experience or any care for these projects they are in control of, poor communication and at times no communication at all with site staff and senior staff, as senior staff have no experience in construction at all.There health and safety is minuscule if not non existent on many sites, no records kept, no health and safety personal, no checks on sub contractors or personal operating machinery or basic levels of safety training.A typical day at work could finish with a 14 hour shift, high levels of stress due to no assistance from senior personal, no management structure in place to monitor Quantity surveyors, managers, supervisors, contractors or general operatives which leaves huge pressure on anyone actually trying to carry out their role.Hardest part of the job was carrying out your role and many others roles too, who where not carrying their own weight, based on senior management having no interest in their roles and taking no responsibility to fulfill their roles and dodging their responsibilities.This led to poor communication, throughout the company, huge losses on time and finances -Â
Pros
None
Cons
Long hours no pay or training which was promised
