No training, it can take a long time to get repairs done on the waggons.
Recovery Driver (Former Employee) - Bugle, Cornwall - 28 April 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI enjoy the work, but the pay is not what I would expect, and training is not what you should expect, as it doesn't exist. Absolutely no recognition of things like Christmas and new year, not even a Xmas card far less pay rates for bank holidays. Reporting falts and you are wondering if anyone is actually reading it it toke over 4 months in the winter time get a heater fixed and plenty of other faults that are still haven't been fixed.
Pros
Discount on car services
Cons
Pay could be better and training needs to be better

Good place to work
Recovery Driver (Former Employee) - Bugle, Cornwall - 17 October 2020
Very well looked after as a staff member but not the place to work if you expect to be spoon fed or looking for an easy ride.Lots of new vehicles bought in time I was there. Lots of hours available.
Pros
Pay on time, plenty of hours available
Cons
If you don’t ask you don’t get so if you go to work there be proactive

No work life balance, no backup when needed, no ppe supplied everything seems a problem to managers,
Recovery Technician (Former Employee) - Devon - 2 April 2020
Do not join this shower
Left and right hand have no idea what the other is doing and one expects the other to have done it.
No backup on the road if needed, no backup with ppe or equipment eg gloves, engine oil, parts etc.
This company expect you to work all the ours you can then expect you to carry on when you shouldn't, I often done 20+ hours

Hardworking
Recovery Administrator (Former Employee) - Cornwall - 1 October 2015
I least enjoyed working for this Company as there were shifts involved. My children were all under the age of 10, and ended up spending less time with them at the time, As the job went on, the hours were increased more and more.
