Leedale Ltd Employee Review

Mid level teeth pulling exercise

Driver (Former Employee) - Alfreton - 7 January 2021

Unfortunately, this is becoming one of those places that fills its office with people that justify their position with 'good ideas', which are implemented after a round of back patting in the office- but god help an idea that has to be maintained by the person that came up with it.Basic things like a usable staff car park & a safe level area to do vehicle inspections are overlooked in favour of flashy drone footage to post on facebook. It's as if the fleet can drive itself, there are no drivers to look after or worry about. I feel that the high staff turnover of this place has just bread an attitude of 'it doesn't matter because we'll always get someone who'll do it anyway'. Pay is weekly, though no-one is completely sure how exactly it's calculated as there is no clocking in- there was initially but nobody wanted to maintain the idea, as mentioned before.The fleet is 'just' maintained to keep it on the road, small vehicle problems can go on for weeks/months/year as they're not seen as a priority because the wheels still turn.If you keep out the way, do the best you can without being noticed, you'll do alright here. Or perhaps you have big ideas that don't have to be followed through & everyone will have forgotten about by the next meeting, then great news! We have an office & £180k+ car just for you!

Pros

You get to go home

Cons

Terrible site

New vehicles and friendly office staff

Driver (Current Employee) - Alfreton, Derbyshire - 1 June 2022

Each day you are given your work for the next day, going from site to site. The fitters and transport manager are very conscientious and the office staff who plan the work are very friendly. I enjoy being the face of the company on site to promote the company and the vehicles are brand new - around 3 years old

Long Hours . Poor Vehicles

Driver (Current Employee) - Alfreton - 10 May 2022

If you want a job where you can be out of the house 15 hours a day , this is the place for you. No work life balance , not hard work (that's if you are in a well maintained vehicle)
