Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Newport, Newport - 18 April 2021
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThis is a local family run company. Good mangers. I liked the shifts because they fitted in with my family time. Could be hard physical work that kept me fit for many years. A good bunch of lads to work with.
Pros
Free parking. Shifts
Cons
No on site canteen

Toxic environment and very clicky.
Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Newport - 7 January 2022
Management is poor and not very approachable. If something is reported to them in a matter of seconds everyone will know regardless of how confidential it is! They constantly go back on them selves and change rules for when it fits them and have no problem passing responsibility onto those who have no leg to stand on. There are no benefits to working in a place like this and with long hours and less pay, it’s difficult to balance life. With out of date methods to doing everything it can be difficult to start and with abuse around every corner. Honestly last place I’d want to be.
Cons
Long hours, Pay, Back breaking work, Management, No privacy, Management, Health and safety- overloaded, overpacked, no risk assessments, poor tool box talks Didn’t even know they had a HR

- Feeling of personal appreciation
Awful atmosphere
Account and finance assistant (Former Employee) - Newport - 9 October 2021
Avoid at all costs. Terrible place to work. Family links in the office , favouritism etc.No opportunities or benefits. Leaves you feeling overworked and depressed. The favourites get away with what they like like taking personal calls whilst others are disciplined for it.
Pros
Free parking

Terrible company to work. Avoid at all costs.
Sales Advisor (Former Employee) - Newport, Newport - 10 October 2019
This is a bad company to work for. The pay is very poor. The people there are horrible to work with and for. Do not fall for the rubbish put in job description and benefits do not exist. If you seek depression, being over worked and under paid then apply. Poorly managed and bullying standard.

No structure, No trust
Buyer (Former Employee) - Newport, Newport - 16 October 2018
One of the worst places I’ve ever worked. Job promised isn’t the job given!
Long/late hours, no trust to do the job. Cameras everywhere, totally different cultures, expected to immediately drop everything if management want something.
Management don’t turn in until after lunch.
Pros
Free parking
Cons
Long hours
