Pros

Reasonable hours, good equipment when it’s working.

Cons

My experience working with this company (Plymouth) was dreadful. Extremely toxic, argumentative and unprofessional individuals, it could be a good place to work but it’s the ppl you work with, and my colleagues including management were the worst I’ve ever come across. Supervisor was in over his head and couldn’t get a grip on things, did not help matters he was very close or personal friends with an employee and therefore gave him preferential treatment (conflict of interest). The employee in question would constantly exaggerate minor issues and ‘grass’ colleagues up or ‘stir the pot’, he was always asking to lend money from other employees, exploited the company by doing private cash jobs with the company’s clients (MOD premises etc), the supervisor knew about this but kept it quiet, or at least that was the general consensus. A lot of backstabbing and two faced toxic ppl which again the supervisor was incapable of getting a grip of. The main boss didn’t really seem interested and was more concerned with box ticking exercises. I could go on, couldn’t wait to leave in the end it was that bad, very poor working environment and culture which was detrimental to mental health. Seem’s to have a high turnover of staff coming in and out off an agency conveyer belt, which says it all really (further issues with that). There were some genuine guys there but from a separate department. I was considering legal action for some of the unlawful and bullying behaviour I was witnessing and subjected to but I just couldn’t be bothered prolonging the stress and hassle. Join this Plymouth depot at your own risk. They seem good on paper with a fancy royal approval, but it means nothing if you can’t get your house in order and operate in a way that does not align with their own values and expectations.
