Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThis agency is not the best of agencies as they made you work long hours for a low wage. They didnt really show a care for thier employees, more for getting the job done and reaching thier deadlines. It was mainly logistics the agency covered.
Pros
None
Cons
Long hours, low wage, short breaks

Do not work for this company
Labourer (Former Employee) - Aldershot, Hampshire - 22 October 2019
I have never worked before for such a bad company.
They tell you a good rate per hour, but they do not explain what is inside this pay rate. I had to pay for my expenses ( as everyone does ) and as well for the companies HMRC!
In the pay per hour, your holiday is included in it and they never mention it until you get paid.
To make it a little easier to understand. I was working for ÂŁ10.5 per hour and the money that I was earning was ÂŁ7.55 per hour.
I was very unsatisfied with their employees as well, I had to text them 3 times and call twice to get a copy of my contract.

Terrible
Labourer (Former Employee) - Scotland - 19 July 2019
Very unprofessional.
Work contracts are not for as long as they say.
Wages are always wrong and no one from the company can be bothered sorting it.
Shouldn't have to chase your wages which you worked for.
Terrible and unreliable. Don't use!!!
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Everything

Shady recruitment practices. Greedy.
Labourer (Current Employee) - Scotland - 18 July 2019
They advertise the wage much higher than you actually get.
They use shady umbrella company's who deduct about 35% of your wages.
You have no employees rights and are just thrown away whenever.
Unprofessional agency.
Pros
None
Cons
Unbrella pay. False hourly rate. Awful attitudes.

A great place to work
HR Manager (Current Employee) - Potters Bar, Hertfordshire - 9 March 2018
Everyone in the team is really friendly and welcoming. I have felt thoroughly supported since I have arrived and everything that I have needed has been provided for me.
The team work really hard but there is also a fairly relaxed atmosphere in the office as everyone seems to enjoy their job.
As HR Manager, I will be reviewing all of our benefits, engagement and communication with the hope of making it an even better place to work in the future.
Pros
Flexible working opportunities, a friendly environment to work in, lovely office and options to work remotely
Cons
None

I'm sure this is not for a traffic marshall position at all, but actually an FLD. You were told by the client repeatedly to slow down on site. You crashed the FLD into a skip on the second day. Needless to say you weren't kept on by the client, they felt you were too incompetent to be on site and were a danger to everyone else around you. The vacancy ran until Christmas (long term work as stated), the reality of one day is solely down to yourself.

The thing I like the most is they have always jobs availeble for you. When you finish one job they give another straight away not like other agencyes. Pay rate are not that good , but it's allright.

Be Careful Working for This Company!
Accounts Administrator (Former Employee) - Potters Bar, EN6 - 30 November 2014
6 months sorting out a mess, saved them approx. ÂŁ10k with one supplier, but then got an assistant to train and within couple of months, tell me getting rid of department without telling others there, and give 1 wks notice, showed them contract and they had to pay me month - they didnt pay correct pay!
Got rid of me for doing a good job and training someone on min. wage.
Also one member of staff who is not nice and the management know and do nothing!
Pros
paid on time
Cons
Not to be trusted with your job if they can get someone cheaper!

We are fully compliant with all HMRC tax deductions and pay within line with market rates. if you have a query regarding your tax, pick up the phone and speak to someone in the regional offices, it will be accurate.
Not bad.
Labourer (Current Employee) - Stourbridge - 18 November 2012
Not that bad of a firm to work the people seem nice. Pay not so good don't pay as good as other agencies.They also charge you ÂŁ5 to setup bacs so they can pay you into the bank, iv never worked for a firm that does this, as if making enough money out of you ain't enough?
Pros
good people who seem to help
Cons
not good pay and charging to pay you
