Morgan Mclernon Employee Reviews

Not paid right and don't get replies for pay issues, organisation is terrible, the company favourites get the best lorries and the rest are shared between anyone who still needs a job, local drivers don't care about state of cabs so your gambling whether your going to get a clean one or dirty disgusting local driver, units aren't assigned so damage to interior is never pinpointed, loads back to ireland can waiting on break to 15 - 20 hours on a weekend before you get work and no one tells you anything to let you know what's happening your left in the dark

Stay away

HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Lurgan - 16 July 2023

As a past driver was good but when culina took over it went down the tube transport managers became available till foreigners which then looked after there own and left you stranded for ages waiting on a back load home and talked to the local drivers like dirt and as for the ceo’s young people who haven’t got a clue and just think they can treat drivers the heartbeat of the firm like dirt so be warned stay away

Pros

Free headaches

Chaotic environment

HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Lurgan, County Armagh - 29 September 2022

Very poor communication, sending you to the wrong address, not giving you the correct information, having to chase after the information you need.Rude people on the phone who swear at you, when you won't dance to their tune, because they have made a mistake. Be aware.. if they make amistake, it's no problem, but if you make a mistake, that's a different matter, and the management that supported you when you took the job, will totally distance themselves from you, and give you no support.When you call the office, no one answer's the phone, you have to continue to call , onto someone picks up. "You know, we're not calling for the fun if it, we need information". People in the office have no idea about what's involved in driving a truck, with a 40ft trailer on behind, we're not driving a Ferrari... all lorries have speed restrictors.Planners, plan your loads too tight, so if there's road works, or congestion, and you need to catch the ferry, well you're going to miss it. They throw you in at the deep end and it's sink or swim, and if you're a new pass then you're on your own. They'll send you a text message with just the post code, and you have to ask for the remainder of the address. Money is good, but this place is chaos. This place is good if you want experience, but few stay long term.

stressful

HGV driver (Former Employee) - Craigavon, County Armagh - 27 August 2022

HGV Class 1 Driver (Current Employee) - Lurgan, County Armagh - 1 April 2020

Had a great time in Morgans they are flexible and will work round your needs. The office staff are mostly pretty well glued in a lot of ex drivers so rarely get sent round the country for a short cut.

Very fast and fun place to work

Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Silverwood - 12 February 2020

While working at Morgan McLernon I was able to make several new friends and I got along with all the staff. This job required me to be self-aware and need to make deadlines. As well as that, I needed to be flexible and be focused at all times.

Pros

Good fun

Cons

Bad hours

Good Place to Work.

HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Craigavon - 26 February 2017

I found The Company a good place to work, but as in all jobs, you need to put in the time to make good wages. As a result this tends to have a negative effect on your home life!!
