Pros

Other engineers are a great group. Set your own ETA's so you can plan your day.

Cons

Hoover dont have a base in Ireland so your house is used as a depot where stock is delivered every day Monday to Friday. ETA's and setting your dairy has to be done the evening before and is not paid for. Extra pressure on engineers to upsell cleaning products. Poor management skills where every task requested is followed by a threat of disciplinary action if not followed through.

Pros

I have only been with the company for a short time, but I’m really enjoying working at Hoover Candy. From day one everybody made me feel welcome and supported, especially my manager. When I arrived on my first day she had all my log in details and a lap top ready. This may not seem like a lot but in some companies, you can spend your first week trying to get this information. We have baskets of fruit delivered each week and the social committee always have lots of fun things going on. It’s nice to be part of a company where everybody is passionate about the brand and also its staff.

Cons

None so far, seems like a great company

Pros

People are nice but unhappy so this causes big problems, most feel undervalued.

Cons

Low wages, little communication, unhappy employees, name calling, resentment, Managers don't care about staff in most cases. Poor working conditions, no canteen, old windows in service centre and not double glazed but dirty and scruffy.
