J Tomlinson Employee Reviews

Company was ok, rubbish management and had the worst experience working for this company. My personal experience was awful, got disrespected by management and I would not wish my worse enemy to receive treatment as I did. Various staff were rude and abrupt. However there was quite a few exceptions. You will have to cross your fingers and hope you got a good manager. Otherwise I would recommend not to apply.

Pros

Feels like a family run business.

Cons

Management

Managers are not very good

Gas Engineer (Former Employee) - Uk - 11 December 2021

Poorly managed team. Like to act like a big company who do things correctly, in reality 20 boiler services in one day with 50 miles of travel cannot be done

Pros

Good pay if you cut corners

Cons

Expectations over workload

It got one star because I can't give zero

Supervisor (Former Employee) - Wakefield, West Yorkshire - 22 October 2020

Nothing more to say they use people. Promise you the world when you start but never deliver on there promises. Middle and senior management are just liars. I was accused of theft because I took something that I was told to. I was accused of lying about pay negotiations. All to cover there inability

Pros

None

Cons

Management morons

Amazing place to work!

Customer Liaison Officer (Former Employee) - Beeston - 27 August 2019

I had the pleasure of working with J Tomlinson in Beeston. The management is very supportive, the staff are amazing, and the pay isn't too bad either! If you are looking for a decent 8-5 job for Monday to Friday, look no further. If it wasn't for my moving countries, I would still be there :)

Operatives working on site helpful and friendly

multi skilled operative (Former Employee) - Leicester Nottingham,Northhampton Warwickshire - 21 May 2019

Induction day not very professional they lie and give out false information about how good the company and job is. management just want you to bodge jobs So they look good in office. No help from supervisors or managers when you ask them to order specialised materials from internet, they just pass the buck back to you. When operatives leave they don,t tell the work force. As for the Operatives are very helpful .

Cons

24 hr call out . Induction days not professional

Just the best place to work

PA to Director (Former Employee) - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - 10 November 2018

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at JT. If I hadn't left due to having a baby I would still be there. I loved this company and my line Manager was easy to get on with and extremely sincere. Part of my role involved me training new staff on our computer systems, this meant that one day I could be in Worcester and another day in Peterborough. The best part about this job was our team, we all got along which meant for a very happy environment. The hardest part was the day I left.

Pros

An excellent place to work

Cons

None

Worst employer in Nottinghamshire

Contracts Manager (Former Employee) - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - 21 April 2018

Terrible managers that couldn't run a sweet shop. They win contracts they can't deliver, employ you, burn you out and then find a way to get rid of you before your longer then normal probation is up. Stay clear and find a proper building firm to work for.

Pros

None

Cons

Lots

Avoid this awful company

worker (Current Employee) - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - 17 April 2017

Terrible senior management with over inflated job titles and no people management skills, tatty, smelly offices, poor staff benefits, dreadful HR & bullying rife. "Good News" stories about apprentices etc should be ignored, these are just used to attract HA/Council business & acquire a cheap & very disposable workforce.

Pros

none

Cons

Terrible senior management with over inflated job titles and no people management skills, tatty, smelly offices, poor staff benefits, dreadful HR, bullying rife

Trainee in management (Former Employee) - Nottingham, ENG - 6 February 2015

I enjoyed working for j Tomlinson, I worked in the office and on site moving through all the different rolls. I mainly like the buyers as this is mainly what I do in my current job as a technician.

Gained Vast experience as an apprentice

Serving apprentice (Former Employee) - Nottingham - 4 February 2015

A typical day would involve working alongside experienced engineers gaining experience on all types of equipment, including plant rooms, commercial and domestic heating and plumbing installations, servicing gas installations, warm air units, drainage and chillers. I was at JT Tomlinsons here where i finished my NVQ level 3 portfolio after gaining a vast experience in the industry. I was very liked as an apprentice as i was keen to learn and a very fast learner. I extremely enjoyed my time at JT Tomlinson as i enjoyed learning the industry and compiling my portfolio which formed part of my apprenticeship.
