Friendly staff interesting bespoke work can be stressful a times. The company pays very well and also has a very good benefits package including shares that can be purchased.

Would not recommend

Management is awful. They do not care for your well being. Only care about getting the work done. There is no support or regard for mental well-being.

Pros

Hybrid working and free lunches

Cons

Too many

A waste of time

They don't want they want and if anyone was looking for a job there, don't bother. They do not care about your health and wellbeing. It is a very untrustworthy culture.

Pros

Food allowance, regular hours

Ok, could be better

Varied work, flexible working hours, good career progression, good pay and benefits.High management often lacks of a clear direction.Poor cooperation between departments: everyone is more worried about making their team look good rather than the end result.

None

Cons

You'll be expected to work Saturday's for free

One of the hardest HGV jobs out there

If you don't mind being being sent out blind to complete around 100 jobs a day, pulling bins alone, up hill, down hill, weighing anything from 100 - 400kg, then go for it! It's nice to finish early, but hard to benefit from it when you're falling asleep on the sofa by 8pm out of sheer exhaustion from the day's work. Dustcart work should ALWAYS be a 2 man job, but out of greed you're sent out alone. If you're young, fit and healthy, then have a go, otherwise steer well clear!

Well paid but hard work

Very well paid after salary, bonus & meal allowance however you do work for it. Expect 140 bins+ on a refuse vehicle, 4am starts in all weather's & a terrible work to life balance. I dont know of anyone who wants to stay long term just earning money to do what they want then will leave.

Easy day to day job

Poor company to work for especially healthcare. Salary way under average pay. Healthcare line manager extremely untrustworthy and unprofessional. Stepping stone job for me but within a year see it’s all. Shame really as Veolia France are totally different league to U.K. as I work closely now with the French department with complete trust and professionalism. Sadly the U.K. side is a joke.

Great Place To Work

Really like Veolia as a company only thing that lets them down is they don't pay people fairly. There's people earning 15-20% more than others doing the same role!
