It wasn't all bad

Met 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.

YODEL = Bad, Subcontractor company = Good

Anyone I have come across working directly for Yodel have been unhelpful, unsupportive, self driven and never care about the drivers as we are easily replaced. eg: Ask for time off even for personal or family time and they threaten to take your route off you.Subcontractor companies who actually do the majority of the work for Yodel have been very supportive throughout and actively support you in all areas of your work.

Pros

flexible start times

Cons

long hours, pay cuts, paid per parcel so will expect a parcel to be delivered even when it will mean you LOSE money

Unorganised and Demanding

For the low pay you receive, this job is very demanding. You are expected to stay on until the job is finished. You are not respected by the management. Even though the rate is low, you're expected to work hard when treated poorly. It's not a company I would recommend.

Hard

The work is hard, break time is very small, money is worth the job, they need to improve in timing of the job so as to make it flexible for individuals

no improvement and poor organization

I worked for 8 years in yodel. For all these years nothing has improved. The organization of work in the landfill is very low. Very often the trucks are late and work starts very late. Even the last two months have reduced the price for parcels and the money you earn not enough for a normal life.

They are very good interpersonal and organizational skills, well in some of there places some of there managers are very diplomatic which is very bad.

YODEL is a place to be well accommodate and good interpersonal but they are not giving us bonus and overtime payments. YODEL is well organised good.

Good team, iffy management

Senior management seem to have lost the plot and are making more and more ridiculous demands on both the employed staff and their Service Partners. Charging for not taking a good photo, charging for being a minute early and that's just the current crop. Used to be a decent place to work, if not exactly well paid, but now?

Pros

Good team

Cons

Low pay

too long

Too much time spent in the depot at the start of the day, needs to be streamlined to make it more efficient. If they could sort that it would have been a lot better. Pay also needs to increase not decrease.

Pros

sometimes van home

Cons

very long hours

11-8/9 none stop

Sorting parcels into correct postcode, Sorting through piles of parcels which were thrown on the floor into postcode cage ready to be sorted. Overtime pay is very poor. Worked hard and really grafted hoping for a contract, got told maybe I'd get one then new starter was told if HE liked it they'd give him contract at the end of the week, he was told this on his first night.

Pros

None

Cons

Long hours, overtime is time and quarter. Not worth it

Long hours average pay

You only get paid if you deliver your parcels. But people seem pretty laid back you can earn your money if you're prepared to work long hrs, and I mean long hrs . They paid ontime which is always good 😂.it was ok as a stopgap job.

Pros

Paid ontime

Cons

Long hrs for average pay had to use own vehicle no uniform provided you only get weeks notice
