Take some energy pills youll need them. Basic health and safety stuff.
Its scarey how many people there taking on when theyve only been given work till april. Theyll get more after but probly not as much as they have now. People will be laid off.
I've worked for the company for the last four years. Not the easiest of rides in all honesty, but let me tell you some of the issues I've had....
a) Fuel:- Got to pay for it youself and claim back.
What's not said on here though is that they DO give you an up front allowance. I get it in my bank account two weeks later like clockwork. The only time I have an issue is when I send in my paperwork late. Who's fault is that? Their's?
b) Yeah there are issues with turning up on site etc. and there are no clocks/programmers that the plumbers have left behind and it is a bit of a mission to get one. I do believe them though that if they had to pay for an extra one on every job it would mean they aren't in business. Is that their problem or is it the plumber not doing their side of the bargin?
c) When you leave them they don't pay you your full wages. I believe this is true and actually agree with it. The amount of crap I've had to go back and fix because of to**ers who don't do a proper job and then f**k off is ridiculous. Why should they get paid when they aren't doing it properly. The company holds back final pay until every job is inspected and then pays it as the inspections are done. I fully accept this in the current climate.
I've been given my work past April now..... so don't understand the April comments?
All too easy to sit at home and criticise. I wouldn't have been here for four years if they didn't do something right. What I have seen is people who come and go and take an adversarial approach with the company - guess what - they get the same back. Those of us who have been here a while and work with them have a good relationship. Let the to**ers go as far as I am concerned.
If any of us want a job near home, paid loads, for doing 7 or 8 hours a day..... those days are long gone and the sooner everyone realises that the better.
As for them advertising in London..... I've seen the advert. Why criticise when the advert clearly says "you will be travelling away in the North of England"? Eh? Sorry, don't get it.
Its a con mate they will take anyone with ONLY the 17th and a crb check. I didn't even attend the induction....interview was far too easy and everyone got a fecking job. Thats why they get monkeys not finishing off work...
DO NOT LOWER YOURSELF AS AN ELECTRICIAN TO WORK FOR THESE GUYS!!

I havent had any problems so far, apart from not getting my sim card for my phone yet...but they are being dished out now. There are some crap sparks on this job and also crap plumbers. If you are a big firm like these are, you are bound to get some bad ones...
I will be staying here as long as its feasible, after all...its not many jobs where you can earn so much for easy work. My earnings for this week are in excess of £700 before tax etc and I didnt bust a gut to get it.
Im now in my sixth week working for the company and i have completed 45 jobs for them, travelled 3500 miles across the north of England (God's country) Iv'e spent over £1500 on Fuel, van leasing and spares because the parts you order just dont arrive or arrive late. I have currently been paid absolutely nothing at all!!
If you phone the head office you are not able to speak to the payroll deptment as they are busy (Busy not paying wages) and you are asked to e-mail them instead with your queires for which you get no reply. All the jobs I have done have passed the eaga inspection and have been signed off for paymnet as I have been back to most of the jobs now after I have finished them and taken photos of the work and asked the clients to sign to say how long I was there and the work I carried out for them was of a high standard.
I'm currently owed £5000 and since i started making a fuss about not being paid since starting in Feb they have stopped sending me Jobs.
I'm going to take them to the small claims court for money owed, costs and compensation which will be more than what they currently owe me.
I have never in my life worked for a company run from top to bottom by primates and the service to the Warm front customers who are often elderly is shameful.
The man at the top is probably sat at home in his 10 bed mansion and collection of sports cars laughing his little head off.
Anyone want to join me for a bit of joint court action aginst the company. The more the merrier!!
Dont out of desperation for work due to the economy fall into the trap, They know work is hard to come by at the moment and are exploiting people who are just trying to put food on the table for the family.
I could'nt even buy my son the Birthday present he wanted last week as i'd spent all my money doing jobs for this company.
Big stop sign - Why else would they have a permanent advertisment at the job centre. And as for the bloke who has been there for 4 years. They look after a small group of workers who are on salaries and expect the incoming staff to walk within weeks when they realise whats going on. Its not hard to install a spur for a boiler mate so you'd be hard pressed to actually find problems with a first year apprentice doing the job.
CON CON CON CON CON CON CON CON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
