Pros

Committed and result-oriented team culture. If you possess drive for excellence and passion for continuous improvement, you'd enjoy working with many like-minds in a dynamic environment.

Cons

The group is very big and while internal movement opportunities are available, very few truly get access to them. Many times the interviewer cite sector experience is important over functional experience, e.g. sales

Pros

Fairly good bunch of people to work with and things are quite relaxed at site level

Cons

An appaling pay structure where many supervisors and non supervisors are virtually on the same pitiful low pay. Expected to work overtime when things go wrong and being expected to cover all of someones elses workload, plus your own when they take time off. There is also a constant stae of cost savings going on which causes more problems, late deliveries etc

Pros

Formerly UK MAIL, Company as a whole is improving, reasonable wage for day/office staff. Management proactive in getting everything done. Few different schemes for saving money and training courses available.N

Cons

Night shift wage is considerably LOW. 50p more than day shift. In house FLT course is non transferrable. Staff are expected to go above and beyond with workload, can be overworked. Cost management is second to none, unfortunately you feel this working for the business. Company benefits are quite poor compared to some competitors. Drivers are overworked at times, while they are self employed sub contractors, ive seen drivers finishing at 1130pm and coming back in at 5am during some of the busiest times, again where money is always trying to be saved drivers are often coaxed into taking parcels that are clearly overweight.
