Pros

Can use company vehicle for personal use

Cons

If you want it to be effective, it's usually better to make it factual, specific, and credible rather than just abusive. Reviews that stick to verifiable experiences tend to carry much more weight with readers and are less likely to be removed. Here's a strongly worded version based on what you've described: I left a secure full-time employed position to join this company as a self-employed gas engineer after being repeatedly assured during the interview process that my lack of experience as a newly qualified engineer would not be an issue. I was completely transparent about my experience level and made it clear that I was looking for a company where I could learn and develop my skills. Management assured me that there was a strong support network in place and that help would always be available when needed. The reality was the exact opposite. After starting, I was quickly sent out on my own with little to no support. When I contacted managers for assistance, they often seemed frustrated rather than willing to help. Despite knowing my qualifications and experience, the company repeatedly assigned me to jobs that required qualifications I did not hold, including commercial work that I was not legally permitted to carry out. On multiple occasions I travelled long distances to jobs only to be told by management after arrival that I should never have been assigned the work in the first place. The wasted travel time and costs were entirely at my expense. What concerned me most was the company's attitude towards customers. Rather than focusing on repairing faults, there appeared to be constant pressure to turn routine repair jobs into boiler replacement sales opportunities. It often felt as though the objective was to sell expensive replacements wherever possible rather than provide honest advice and cost-effective repairs. Less than two weeks after joining, I was dismissed. My impression was that because I was not generating the level of reactive sales they wanted, I was no longer useful to them. This was despite the promises made during recruitment and despite leaving a secure job to join their business. To make matters worse, when it came to payment, a substantial portion of my earnings was withheld. I was told that I would have to wait several months in case any issues arose from completed jobs. The deductions amounted to roughly half of what I was expecting to be paid, and the explanations provided were confusing and inconsistent. In summary, I was recruited with promises of support, training, and development that never materialised. I was sent to jobs I was not qualified to perform, left without adequate support, dismissed within weeks, and then had a significant amount of my pay withheld. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise anyone considering working for this company to proceed with extreme caution.If you're posting on a site like Glassdoor or Indeed, I can also help make it even sharper, more professional, and harder for the company to challenge or remove.
