Pros

Big company worldwide with i would imagine a worldwide company

Cons

Long anti-social hours Backbreaking work Fooled by H&S on induction but the first day on the job unsafe working practices and scant disregard to health and safety of drivers Expectations were short-lived and actually embarrassed that I fell for their false promises and oblivious care for the longevity of their staff
