Warburtons Employee Review

It’s been ok so far…

Class 2 Driver (Current Employee) - Eastwood - 23 May 2023

Started in February and so far it’s been ok, it’s hard work picking orders on the back of the lorry and trying to keep to the timings on the EPOD. It’s clear some routes are better than others load and go routes your chasing your backside the whole time because you can’t start to pick orders until you’ve done your first 2-3 drops. Routes where you pick in the warehouse have the benefit of picking their orders before they go and they most likely don’t have a 1 hour + drive to their first drop. Work life balance is a tough one on one hand your finished for mid day but on the other when it comes to 6pm your tired and ideally you want to be asleep before 830pm latest as you start work at 4am. There’s so much training involved, as a new driver finishing at 2pm the last thing you want is to be told you need to do some training after you’ve unloaded and in my opinion it’s wrong 2pm is 10 hours and being up since 3am you are tired and need to rest not have a tablet plonked in front of you and see you’ve got 3 training sections complete.

Pros

Early finishes Management have been good

Cons

Not many weekends off 2 in 7 weeks

Not a terrible job

Class 2 HGV Driver (Former Employee) - Banbury - 30 August 2023

I worked there for 9 months and it served its purpose, I was able to finish early enough to pick my kids up from school, and it was my first HGV driving job so got some experience on my CV. The job itself isn’t too bad, but you don’t get any training, so your first few weeks you’re learning on the job, which can be stressful, but once you’re settled the job is as easy as you make it.

Pros

Early finish, weekly pay

Cons

No training, you’re just a number
