Window cleaner (Former Employee) - South East London, Greater London - 17 August 2022

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed

This was a great company when I first started but you soon learn that the only way you could get a promotion is if you're a family member of close friends with another manager. No tools supplied and when you are given some they expect you to be grateful. To much work given out to do jobs properly and manger only look out for themselves

Not a great company to work for

Window Cleaner (Former Employee) - South East - 19 June 2022

Underpaid for the work thats involved, fleet department useless.Equipment in vans always braking down and takes for ever to get replacements of anything.To many over paid managers and not enough on the job workers.A lot of issues within the company from director's, managers to cleaners that are dam right lazy.All in all i wouldnt recommend nss as a company to work for. Unless your desperate for work.

Pros

When you finnish work and go home

Cons

No perks, managers, to many to list

Great place to work, I feel appreciated and valued. A lot of progression in the company! Plenty of overtime when you want it and my manager is really helpful and understanding.

Fun and keeps you fit.

Window Cleaner (Current Employee) - South East - 23 March 2022

Not for you unless you like early starts but then you will finish early in the day as well. On the whole I enjoy it and there are plenty of opportunities for training and if you want it there is plenty of overtime but no pressure to work it.

The pits

Window Cleaner (Former Employee) - Scotland - 7 June 2020

For the love of God, do not apply to work for NSS, previously NATIONWIDE, the name has changed but the company hasn't, traveled from Scotland to England (without pay,) for a monthy meeting, where you're spoken to like a peice of dirt, while they check your van, a clear signs of mistrust.

Not a good job

Window Cleaner (Former Employee) - Scotland - 7 November 2019

Was once a good company then changed and the management in Scotland is so poor its unreal they lie make up petty stuff and expect more then they pay you for as they don't have enough cover and when u say no as you have a life outside work then you will soon fall down the food chain and start receiving silly calls.Good luck to the next person hope this review was helpful
