Productive.

IT Technician (Former Employee) - Padiham, Lancashire - 16 October 2017

IT Technician at Padiham, Lancashire Sole job very lonely role. Little communication either over phone or email. Very mundane communication. Although I gained a lot of experience. Working at the school gave me early indications. The outsource company (lendlease) might be being reviewed by the school to go in house with its IT support. So I took initiative early to seek other work. Very good place to work on hindsight

Pros

Health and Safety

Cons

London travel for a 2 day induction that made no sense, Very little in way of persomal development, Engsgement with others, Online time sheets, Plus excessive phone calls to HR (Australia) which is a pain at best.

good people in management

site supervisor/assistant Logistics manager (Former Employee) - Stafford, Staffordshire - 5 June 2017

The time I spent working for Lend Lease was probably the best I have spent in the 45yrs of being in the building trade.I started there as the on site carpenter and within a few months became the supervisor to the other on site carpenters and the assistant to the senior Logistics manager hence the reason I stayed working on the military base in Stafford for almost 3 yrs. While in that role I learned more on the side of management especially after I took the Site Managers certificate to which I passed and things became a lot clearer on how sites were managed properly.

Pros

Nights out team building on the company

Cons

The are no bad points

Good company in respect of training, packages and healthcare. Departments can be a issue due to Management - too many managers not enough workers, need to be more work life balance and more meetings with seniors.

Excellant company

Receptionist/Project Administrator/ (Current Employee) - Oxford Circus, ENG - 20 August 2015

The company really does look after their staff. First place I have worked in 30 years where you are still considered a human being. Benefits are great, good work/life balance. This is also a great place for graduates who they really train and provide them with jobs once they have graduated. They also have a scheme to get locals back in to work who have a disadvantaged background and again they train them whilst providing them with a permanent role. The company is also working hard within the community and in particular they are trying to get women into construction which is a large project and going well even though it is in the early stages.
