Poisonous moral draining outfit

Site manager (Former Employee) - Northampton|Warwickshire|leicestershire - 10 July 2023

The bottom line is you know you are expendable when going with an agency, however, what you don’t need or expect, is to take one in the back from the very people who allegedly are their to support you, especially when they portray to you that they have your back, again it’s easier to replace you than sort a problem out with the client.A Very two faced and unprofessional outfit sadly

Pros

None

Cons

Treat you with contempt

Bad company, robs you with no reason.

Welder (Former Employee) - Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire - 13 November 2020

I was on less than a new start he was on a pound more than me, when I rang up to sort this they fobbed me off. Then they use a 3rd party for payroll so you get 50/70 quid taken out of pay ever week. No holidays. all over bad experience, don't even get s job here last resort.

Pros

No pros

Cons

Dodgy illegal tax refunds, oney taken from wages

No mention of deductions from wages. lies about the job

Labourer (Temporary) (Former Employee) - Boston, Lincolnshire - 23 April 2018

If you enjoy giving them 50 pounds a week to receive your wages go for it. They won't mention this till you ask why 15% of your wages have lined their pockets. Never work for them again

Pros

none

Cons

borderline illegal expenses claims, lies about the job

very good company and so caring it's employees

Labourer Operative (Former Employee) - Swindon - 7 May 2014

Each and every day was not bad at all,I worked very well with my co-workers. Management was very good and I was very proud to play part as their employee every day. Nothing that I can mention as hardest part of the job because I was working very well and co-operate with others as a team.
