Mane Contract Services Limited Employee Reviews

The job was very fast paced as there was no let up and the 900 + employees had to be paid every Friday and all the reports submitted by midday, in order for the payroll to be opened up for the forthcoming week. Everyone in the team worked together to have the employees paid, it was challenging, as sometimes their information was not updated in the system, so we had to chase HR, Admin Team and the consultants for the relevant information. I learned so much about umbrella companies, CIS, Limited Companies, administrating deductions, dealing with HMRC. On a typical day Monday, we were assigned our rota for the week and this was to be done in conjunction with processing the employees hours and if a colleague was off we shared their workload. No calls were taken for wage queries until Wednesday, as the Payroll team was so busy, which I enjoyed. We had to deal with all the payroll queries that came in the week before, e.g updating our system with new wage increases, job titles, email addresses etc. Our Team Leader was very communicative on changes that we needed to know, when we had our Monday meetings. She wanted to know if we had any problems and if we needed any help in certain areas.

Administrator (Former Employee) - Watford - 24 June 2020

No day was ever the same and it was always fast paced. I enjoyed the company of the people that I worked with and the company was well managed. The hardest part of the job was short notice of travel and accommodation bookings requested by consultants.

Not bad place to work

Recruitment Consultant (Former Employee) - Watford, Hertfordshire - 7 October 2019

Just another recruitment agency. Loads of benefits but not a real teamwork atmosphere. A lot of politics and broken promises from line manager. That is it.

Dont work for them..

Welder (Former Employee) - United Kingdom - 24 August 2019

Got a job role as welder, did not do any welding. Instead all I did was loads of other jobs, that had nothing to do with welding what so ever!! All I kept getting told was, we will get you welding, when work comes in, but welding jobs were in, ready to be worked on. Yet I was never doing any welding. It was mainly fettling and grinding all day every day

Pros

Non

Cons

Lies, lies and more lies.

Very Productive and fair

Experience (Former Employee) - Watford - 23 March 2017

The teams at mane are very independent in the fact that they can the job done easily by their selves but work together as a create team to make a functioning and productive workplace. I learned how to be more independent and how to help further benefit a team. For me the hardest part of the job was getting to grips with how their systems worked but after i learnt how it worked i easily got on with my work and colleagues

Productive and amazing work environment.

IT Director (Former Employee) - London, UK - 12 December 2016

An excellent organization to work. As the IT Director, i managed the internal IT Department and all IT related projects that involved all internal business processes. Part of my role was to research and develop a more fluid departmental communicational process (via implementing an intranet by using sharepoint). The CEO was extremely forthcoming and creative.
