Vital Human Resources Employee Reviews

Not a great team atmosphere at the time. Not all the companies fault... Wouldn't go back there but wouldn't try and put anyone off either. It may be different

Have to work weekends to get mid week shifts

PTS Trackman (Former Employee) - England - 8 October 2023

You have to work every weekend to get mid week shifts, if you don’t you’d be lucky to get 2-3 mid week shifts. If you do take all shifts you will always be guaranteed work as long as you work hard.

Jobs at Vital Human Resources

Working for liars and ghosts

Railway Operative (Current Employee) - United Kingdom - 15 February 2022

They lie to you at every part they can to keep you with them. Pay close to NMW and expect you to break your backs out for it. Don’t care about anything other than themselves…So best of luck trying to get through to them on the phone…

Pros

Weekly Pay

Cons

Liars Selfish

Review summary

Trackman (Current Employee) - Canning Town North - 29 July 2020

Overall it’s a face-got-to-fit culture and a very biased environment to work in where your voice is muted and if you do speak up you are ostracised via the form of a lack of shifts

Pros

There are not any

Cons

No reward/loyalty scheme

Hard working and long hours

Railway Engineer (Current Employee) - Abercynon, Rhondda Cynon Taff - 15 February 2020

You have to spend very long hours as where you work is often 2-3 hours away from home and then you have your shift lasting 8-12 hours then the journey back home too. Sometimes you will have to stay away in hotels too and have to buy your own food etc.

Bad Culture

Recruitment Consultant (Former Employee) - Bellshill, North Lanarkshire - 25 June 2019

No drive or passion in the work place. Job security is good, with being a younger member of the office also tends to be demeaning when you are the top biller.

Diabolical

Trackman (Former Employee) - Cardiff - 14 June 2019

Worst management I've ever worked for, people in the office have no insentive to put you in work, becasue they have a salary, living off £300 a month is impossible, leave when you can!!

Pros

Nothing, but are on above minimum wage

Cons

Being treated like your worthless, no work, only mates of those who work in office get work

Vitalize @ Vital

Dual Fuel Smart Meter Engineer (Former Employee) - Wirral, Merseyside - 10 April 2019

Professional working team members, all tools, PPE, fuel cards, tablets and mobiles are provided. Great training schemes with a chance of budding to gain extra knowledge. Communication is key which this workplace have, I felt very secure and at home working here the office staff are very friendly and welcoming. A working day is reasonable, work is almost close to your home however the odd travel isn't the end of the world if there is no further work available - Which is expected. I would highly recommend this company as there is a lot of potential and career opportunities. Pay and holiday entitlement is fair with chances of a review. A very laid back place of work but also productivity focused. Fab place would recommend highly.

Pros

The whole package

Cons

N/a

Great company to work for

Dual Fuel Smart Meter Engineer (Former Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 10 April 2019

Can't say a bad word about this company! Managers are open and honest. Safety and quality are always the priority which cant be said for other companies in the industry. Give Vital a try and I'm sure you wont regret it.

Pros

Safety is priority, managers

good job , not enough shifts

Trackman (Current Employee) - Edinburgh - 18 June 2017

The role is good but with the zero hour contract work doesn't always come your way. Get picked up near your house and taken away to different work sites which is great. Good job if you want night shift. Just don't expect to have too many shifts a week if you aren't in a squad (team).
