It wasn't all bad
Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Middleton, Greater Manchester - 29 June 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedMet some of the best people at Yodel some friends for life. The company is so negative, they announced lost after lost I'm terms of revenue year after year which felt like all the time, extra hours, overtime, lack of life balance, low pay even on overtime and work load was all done for nothing. The team between 2012 - 2018 at Middleton was great, the company was so lucky to have the staff then certain people left so did the moral.

Whatever you do, don’t work for this company/ site
Sorter (Former Employee) - Bellshill, North Lanarkshire - 17 July 2022
Out of the four shifts completed at Yodels Belshill site, i was only paid for three, claiming that I hadnt been there, regardless of the fact I checked in with management each day. Furthermore, the fourth shift was not paid in full. It has been over a month with no response from the company and there is no indication that they plan to. Avoid working here at all costs if you expect to be compensated for your work.

Strive to be something they're not
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire - 28 June 2022
Aspiring to be the likes of DPD happily penalising their own drivers instead of working with the drivers to achieve new goals. Very frustrating and abusive language being accepted
Pros
Steady wiek
Cons
Everything else

Delivery driver
Courier Van Driver (Former Employee) - Northampton - 6 March 2021
Very bad place for work Yodel in Northampton ... They don't care about the people . Bad managers for sure but main problem is all service partners. They should be fired all of them.
Pros
I didn't find them
Cons
A lot .. no security for your job, long days, lies ... Less money, heavy parcels

Awful company to work for
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Gloucester, Gloucestershire - 10 February 2021
Awful management, told me start of December to start after I applied in September, I waited the whole of December and they kept no showing, my start date was the 11th of January. 6 weeks later than when I was told I would start. No communication, I enjoy the work but complete at on my company. They just take the p*** out of you. Office girls speak to you like your nothing, anyone who works for yodel think they are above air and can speak to you and treat you like s***. Please don’t bother
Pros
Time your yourself and be your own boss
Cons
Yodel have no communication

Love out on the road but yodel dont care
Courier Driver (Current Employee) - Cumbernauld - 30 December 2020
Very unorganised with parcel couriers. Taken for granted, must go through a lot of couriers. Must lose alot of good couriers, it's a shame really. But you get away with it.

Easy going to suit your needs
Corrior (Current Employee) - Lowestoft, Suffolk - 23 December 2020
I started this job a few months ago in this crazy period. Everyone is so supportive any questions u go on group chat and really expect a reply in minutes if it’s finding the house which within minutes u will get a reply. Got a package with car scraper , hand sterilise, wipes , phone battery pack , face masks plus jelly beans. I’ve worked for a lot of companies throughout my life and I love this one. U can make your deliveries any time u please as long as it’s before 9pm. I myself cannot fault my experience
Pros
Choose your times
Cons
Rain

Cons
Very low pay and poor working conditions

Leeds Yodel Depot.
Muti Drop Driver (Former Employee) - West Yorkshire - 4 July 2020
Under Yodel there are Subcontractors. Very Unprofessional people. They will use you for a busy period or just on a temporary basis. A very low class of people with no future ambitions. My advice stay away. !!!
Pros
Nothing good to say about them
Cons
Terrible

Terrible Company
Home Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Belfast, County Antrim - 22 June 2020
One of the worst companies I've had the misfortune to work for. Ply you with parcels and boxes big or small not caring less if you've got the space of an articulated lorry or a mini. Wash their hands of you if something goes wrong (and it will trust me). Hadn't even the decency to tell me I was fired they just stopped sending stuff. Pay you 60p per parcel so that company directors can get their millions out of this you've to return up to 3 times if not in. Expect you to bend over backwards for them.
If there was a zero star rating I'd give it to them all day every day.
Pros
None
Cons
Everything

Yodel
Courier (Former Employee) - Waltham Abbey, Essex - 12 March 2020
Used to be a decent company to work for until they decided English staff were a luxury and they could get the same level of service from cheaper options. Years down the line they have lost all meaningful contacts and are now basically a furniture delivery firm.

Not bad
Loader/Unloader (Former Employee) - Preston, Lancashire - 18 February 2020
The people there was ok, work was ok but the pay was fair for nights at least. Not much to complain about. just another temp cv gap filler. No permanent jobs on offer.
