Stressful and management clueless
Cleaner (Former Employee) - Glasgow, Glasgow - 11 January 2022
Typical day is leave home to pick up other workers in van even though I do not get paid for this then we are sent to various disgusting sites to clean with basic and cheap cleaning supplies. Overworked and no breaks then drop everyone off before I drive home. Agency do not reply to phone calls or emails so very unprofessional.
Pros
Good work mates
Cons
No breaks, cheap cleaning materials not fit for jobs, management lazy and dont answer phones.

Disorganised
Driver (Former Employee) - Airdrie, North Lanarkshire - 19 September 2021
I found M8 Staffing to be very unorganised. The staff did not seem to have any idea about what jobs had been posted and what job I was there to interview for.

Very helpful for finding people work
Porter/ warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Varied - 15 September 2021
Personally I had a fantastic experience with M8 Staffing. I never had any problems with getting work that was suitable for my circumstances I.e location, time and means of travel. They were always very helpful when it came to offering work for the whole week. Even on bank holidays there was work on offer for anyone that wanted it. On the times when there was a dislike for the work environment that was available I.e shift times or just the general work itself, they were able to provide a different workplace more suitable almost immediately. I was with them for around 14 weeks and never had a single problem with getting paid or with a lack of work. As an agency I would highly recommend them for the work they do.
Pros
Always work available
Cons
Some early starts depending on what work is being looked for.

Regular work if you want it.
HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Airdrie, North Lanarkshire - 21 June 2021
M8 were the first agency to help me back into driving when I had a driving conviction when others weren't interested. The guys will do there best to accommodate you're chosen shift pattern, But sometimes will try get you to cover shifts you don't want. On the whole a fairly decent agency to work for. Wages always on time. Unfortunately some of the class 1 contracts are below wage average .Think thats more client than m8.If you're stuck these guys will find you employment no problem. Would seek these guys out again if needed.
Pros
Monday to Friday if you can get it.
Cons
Some contracts low paid.

Warehouse operative
Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Bellshill - 16 March 2021
I worked for M8 Staffing for a few months and got plenty of work that suited me. I only left them because I moved away and could not commute to the warehouse that I had been working in but if I was to move back then they would be the first agency I would call as they were totally honest and professional with me from the beginning. I would totally recommend M8 Staffing as they are a great agency to work for and don't lie or give false promises or false hope like other agencies do. Keep up the good work guys!
Pros
Good pay, good hours, no lies or false promises
Cons
None

Avoid at all costs
Driver (Former Employee) - Airdrie, North Lanarkshire - 30 July 2020
Very unprofessional company to work for. They lie and set untrue expectations to get you to accept the work. Then leave you doing work you were promised you wouldn't do. Very unprofessional on the phone. Impossible to deal with in a professional manner.
Pros
None
Cons
Lie to get you to take undesirable work

New players trying to change the game.
HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Glasgow - 14 February 2020
Had herd stories about this agency, not good. Decided to try them myself. I’d like to think of myself as a seasoned agency driver, being doing it on and off since the80s
Went to work on petrol contract and found out they were paying nearly £4.50 an hour less than the preferred agency, doesn’t matter if it’s PAYE or Ltd the difference was shocking, but drivers did warn me they are the worst payers on the circuit.
So they go in cheap and pay cheap, just what the drivers didn’t want
Pros
Lasted 4days
Cons
Money.

Lied about work
Driver (Current Employee) - Bellshill AT LONGLANES - 3 June 2019
Phone you and say client not needing you but can you goo work warehouse then someone else comes in to cover the cancelled shift. Tell you to start at 2200 when 0000. Basically if your running an agency for drivers at least have the licience with experience time off joke still phoned you at 0400 to work as for nightshirt and get dayshift.
Pros
Wages on time
Cons
Not giving you extra shifts
