Pimlico Plumbers Employee Reviews in London

Hideous experience, I learnt a lot off my own back. Very stressful and under valued. They choose between being employed and self employed, depending on what suits them. Alright for a young single engineer, but as a married man I had a heart attack and wasn't the first! Be warned, not for the faint hearted!

Pros

Big wage

Cons

Treated like a dog, parking tickets, fuel, constant hounding on the phone. Disloyal.

Good quality hard work pays off.

Roofing engineer (Former Employee) - London - 27 June 2020

All round good company to work for! If you are good at your trade you can thrive at pimlico! They supplied good quality leads from high end customers. Good time keeping, clean uniform, tidy workmanship is something pimlico like to see which you would expect from company that takes pride in their name! Office staff are all friendly easy to get along with. The only thing I was not completely happy with was the van supplied.

Pros

Good quality leads, good pay, friendly staff

Cons

Old van

Great place to work and develop

Marketing (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 7 February 2020

I have been at the company for nearly a year and can honestly say it is an incredible business. The family are very much part of it and make you feel you are part of that too. They all work incredibly hard which i must say inspires others to do so too. If you want to work for a place where the management lead by example, this is it. There is a strong feeling of team and you are encouraged to be creative and contribute to the business strategy. Everyone is approachable and there is a very inclusive feel to the company. Their apprenticeships are second to none and most impressive is the way they support women into the trades. Everyday is different and you definitely feel supported and valued as an employee. I cant recommend working here enough.

Worst working experience of my working life.

Finance Assistant (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 21 October 2019

I had a little sense of excitement to work here when I first heard I was successful in my interview. I was told they have an amazing canteen available 'if needed' along with a very nice looking gym that I'd be allowed to a use anytime free of charge. I'd have my own locker and use of shower facilities available at any time AND regular chances of overtime available - sounds amazing right? It probably only took about ONE day to realise that this wasn't going to be the place that they 'sell' to you at the beginning. Yes, they have a canteen, with lovely staff, but what they don't tell you at first is that you pretty much HAVE to use it (you aren't allowed to pay by the way, it gets automatically deducted from your salary each week) as there are no shops close enough to get to in one of you very small breaks. You are not allowed to even bring in your own tea bags, yet they still charge you to use theirs. Also, other than feeling like a grown school child already because of the uniform you are forced to wear - you have use face recognition to tap in and out, even for your small lunch break. There is not an ounce of faith or confidence shown in any of their employees. Lunch 'breaks'. You are only allowed a morning 15 minute break, a 30 minute lunch break and then one more 15 minute break towards the latter end of the day. Smart from whoever it was that made that rule because technically you are getting your entitled 1 hour break per day - but in a way where it realistically only allows you to stay in the building and use their services. Mobile phones - 'Unless you -

Very poor wages as an apprentice

Admin Assistant / Customer Services Executive (Former Employee) - Se1 - 2 September 2019

Very low pay as an apprentice, treated badly when you have healthcare appointments which they don’t want you going too and they throw a strop when you’re unwell and unable to attend work.

School environment

Call Centre Operator (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 14 September 2018

Treated like (2nd class citizens. Managers are told monthly to name their weakest. After that the employee are never seen. People are daily shown the door. Not a family oriented business as they like to make out. The family that run the company do not even like one another and it shows. If your faces don’t fit you won’t last a week

Pros

None

Cons

Everything

Poor morals

Plumber (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 3 August 2018

The biggest regret o my working life, they take what they want out your wages. Also you have to sell yourself to the clients and persuade them in doing work they really don’t need so you can fill up your day with work. The staff that give you work are rude and they question you all the time! Your meant to be self employed but they only want you working for them and then only! I’ve worked for many companies but these are the worse. The only upside is you get to see some really nice places. Stay away is my advise.

Pros

See some nice places

Cons

Long hours, poor morals and take what they want

Rude

Roofer and multi trade (Current Employee) - London - 16 July 2018

Worst company I have ever had the misfortune to work for , the focus is purely money with no customer care their thoughts, the managers are rude to their staff and refuse to listen to any one who has a option.
