VINCI Employee Reviews

Not the best pay but good training & overtime, decent holiday and sick pay. Managers do what they like though bringing in who they like and don't like you questioning their decisions.

Wellbeing and Mental Health lacking

Facilities Manager (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 30 August 2023

Worked for Vinci for many years and at the beginning thought they were a great company but perception changed very quickly. Nepotism is alive and thriving. Male orientated environment wanting to surround themselves with brainless barbie dolls.Talk the talk on mental health and wellbeing of staff but it's just lip service. AVOID

Ridiculous amount of work

Academy Training Administrator (Former Employee) - Watford, Hertfordshire - 14 July 2023

I thought I’d found a great job. Lovely work colleagues who helped and supported. The job was horrific. I have never had such a huge amount of work which was impossible to get through. It was relentless. So many complaints came in. Hundreds of training requests. Poor management who couldn’t help, despite me begging for help. They said the same things weekly. Like a stuck record. HR In general was toxic too.

Pros

Very nice work colleagues in Academy

Cons

No solutions to the problem from senior management, no help. HR open plan office need to be careful what they say, I heard it all.

Cleaner (part-time) (Former Employee) - Skegness area - 26 April 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?For me it was the other people that worked in the building. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?The manager and how much they expect you to do in a very short time. What is a typical day like for you at the company?Rushed and hard work for the time and money you get.

Great company to work for.

Office Cleaner at Horncastle Highways Depot (Current Employee) - Horncastle - 19 March 2023

I work as a cleaner for Vinci for the Local council. I hold the keys so I can go in and clean once the office is closed. Your supervisor is only a text or phone call away so you feel supported that way. You have one to one assessments regularly throughout the year. Vinci has lots of benefits for you to help with your well being such as staff training and staff discounts etc.

Pros

Overtime if you can cover other peoples holidays and chance for promotions.

General summary

Cleaner (Former Employee) - Lincoln - 3 February 2023

The work is dull but easy at the cleaning jobs as you can expect. The people are fairly friendly, but the standards are sky high so it can feel like nothing is good enough. You get complaints from the staff and management often even though you've done your job well. At the council it has to be basically perfect all the time which is hard to maintain. It's not too bad there but mostly boring and annoying that you can't be left it & all the micromanaging & excessive health and safety is rediculous.

Good Company

Cleaning Supervisor (Current Employee) - Pontypridd - 29 November 2022

Been with Vinci for nearly 4 years and can't fault the company. Line manager is avaliable when ever needed. Any issues are resolved in a great manner. Brilliant and friendly clients. Monthly news letters about Vinci and what's happening in the company. Never any issues with pay. Always on time. A really good company with great understanding of each employee certain needs/circumstances. Treated fairly and with respect.

Pros

Left to work without management over looking you, Room for growth within the company, Vinci hub which gives you discount off shops, work pension that vinci also contributes to as well as yourself

Not a fun place to work.

Porter (Former Employee) - Cardiff - 22 July 2022

Typical day can be boring.I learned nothing as staff didn't want to teach you the job role.Management, where do I start, very clicky, quick to shoot you down when you got concerns regarding the job role, like a Typical example the less you do the more you're thought of.The workplace culture is if your face fits your looked after and you get away with murder.The hardest part of the job is getting up and going to work.The most enjoyable part of the job is going home.VINCI as a company are more interested in keeping the contracts it has than their employees.

Do not work for them

Security guard (Current Employee) - Wales - 29 June 2022

Try to force staff to do overtime because of how they treat staff we are under staffed and the staff are leaving because of how we are all treated, underpaid, management don’t care about their staff, other staff Argue among themselves because lack of Morale and management say you’re not allowed to talk in work unless it’s about work. People have asked me if I would recommend working there and as soon as I tell them no and why they then won’t apply for the post

Pros

None

Cons

Underappreciated
