HGV Driver - Wasn't great

Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) – Bicker, Lincolnshire – 13 October 2019

Planning is poor but everything runs smoothly. You tend to be in and out on the road well enough. Our site had new fleet coming in which is nice.
Down side is that you get day rate and they will load up the hours. If you go over your averages, it's down to you to bring them down by taking unpaid days off. Do the maths right and you end up working 8 months out of 12 for a minimum wage job.
You're just a number and everything is done by the book. Not part of a team, you're just a cog that only gets looked at if something goes wrong.

Not paid well and worked hard

HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) – Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire – 17 September 2019

If you want to be treated like a Muppet this is the place for you.When I started at Turner's I knew I would not get rich but they did not push you hard,then they started to change you could tell that consultants had been in first you got your instructions from a woman you can't tell a lady where to go when they start to pile the work on and pile it on they did people don't mind hard work if the company are willing to pay for it Turner's don't want to pay money rubbish one thing I will say about Turner's is that not all the managers are bad some really are quite pleasant to work for but most of the office staff like to get one over you but the trouble is they're not very good at hiding the fact.

Pros

Non

Cons

Lots

work you like a dog, no management backup, terrible wage for dodgy work.

Trailer Fitter (Former Employee) – Quadring, Lincolnshire – 22 June 2019

Turners is a interesting place to work. if your looking for somewhere that will throw you under a bus for a pittance then apply. if you want a place where your main job is to take tea breaks then this is the job for you. if you don't really care about your work or life cause the chances of you getting arrested for work done is quite high then this is the place for you. if you are looking for management backup you will be surely disappointed as they prefer to blame you, take your money and talk about you behind your back. Then Turners really does have the best team around.

Pros

None

Cons

Long hours, Terrible wage, lack of training, dodgy work.

Great team

Cleaner (Former Employee) – Wittering – 30 December 2017

Management wasn't great. Colleagues were lovely.
overall okay place to work but job security wasn't guaranteed. you mainly work on your own cleaning, you have to be respectable of the people you are cleaning for.

Domestic Assistant (Former Employee) – Wittering – 31 March 2017

Challenging and Demanding Workplace

Transport Planner (Current Employee) – Soham – 30 January 2017

Shift patterns are demanding, the 4 on 4 off is used. Starting anywhere between 6am and 7:30am for day shift and nightshift starting at 7pm working 12 hour shifts.

Management has many tiers and sometimes collides.

Hardest part of the job is the continual changing of the goalposts, although colleagues are supportive and training is done on the job.

Most enjoyable part of the job is when the plan you put together gets utilised to it's full capacity.

Pros

Strong Support Network in the Company

Cons

Long Hours, Weekend Working
