Good workplace all round

Recruitment Administrator (Former Employee) - Brockworth, Gloucestershire - 28 November 2023

Good holidays, great salary, good team, good location, good management. Best thing about the role is the flexibility to work from the office and work from home!

Not the best

Electrician (Former Employee) - Glasgow, Glasgow - 31 October 2023

Ok to fill a career gap but couldn’t stay here long term. Bad management and culture. Plenty of overtime which was good. Pay cycles were very strange though and impossible to work out.

Good money, poorly managed

Gas Engineer (Former Employee) - Peterborough, Cambridgeshire - 3 October 2023

You’ll earn a fair wage at Mears, but the management are incredibly slippery and blasé, so good luck trying to get anywhere with them.You do get left alone for the most part, though. It’s a good earner, but can be annoying when you need something done.

Shocking!

Welfare Manager (Former Employee) - Bradford, West Yorkshire - 30 July 2023

Absolutely shocking place to work! The lack of support you get from managers in despicable! If your face doesn’t fit expect to be bullied by all managers!

Worst place I've worked in a long time

Multi Trader (Current Employee) - Havering, Greater London - 20 July 2023

These are a absolute joke. Very clicky, it's not what you know it's who you know within mesrs you raise awareness and you get nothing I even had a supervisor say the ceiling is asbestos just scrape it and go over it, that just says it all really. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Underpaid, always want more, nothings good enough.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

The moment you log in to the moment you log out

Mears is great company with decent benefits, supportive managers, and fun employees. The work load can get very busy and office stays open during holiday period.

great colleagues

Electrician (Current Employee) - London South East, Greater London - 7 June 2023

Great colleagues and supervisors, sometimes feel over worked but that is rare. Great pay also for the amount of work . Overtime is always available if you're short on money.

Do not work for this company

Housing Manager (Former Employee) - West Yorkshire - 12 October 2022

Job culture is horrible at this place. Staff turnover is huge. No chance to progress in the business unless you know someone. Management lie to procure staff however and then told to work in a different area.

Good company to work for.

Team Leader/Supervisor (Former Employee) - Battersea, London, England. - 2 January 2020

A real company that understands the importance of motivation when it comes to employees. Always ready to train, encourage and reward you for your performance.

A comfortable workplace

Technical and Accessibility Designer (Former Employee) - Shrewsbury - 5 April 2019

Nice mostly relaxed and supportive office. Computers and programs could have been better updated - quite prehistoric! But decent work life balance as work was expected to be left in the office and not infiltrating your family life - much appreciated!

Excellent company

live-in carer (Current Employee) - Camberley - 2 April 2019

Is the best company that I worked for as a live-in carer. The work is rewarded with good pay rates and management appreciation. Very supportive staff, all the time there when you need. The company also support the employee's personal development and qualification. Overall, I highly recommend this company.
