Cons
Where to start. The beginning I guess. I had not had much experiance driving lorries I made that clear. Got in contact with their super had a brief informal chat about the job. How the trucks all had camaras ect started a week later. The induction went well learnt a bit. Pretty standard stuff Driving assessment went well. First time out and about they gave me an old hire truck. No camaras, no autobanksman or scales. Hit a car that day reversing. Great day. Driving down all these little streets is real stressful I come to book a holiday. One which I made aware to the management on the induction. Gave over a year's notice. I find out about 3 months later (once they had purchased a 2023 diary) that I had not got the holiday but not though the management confidentiality though one of the loaders. Rejected the holiday as it was to long. 3 weeks. Because it was at the height of the green waste collection. Bullying/victimisation was commonplace for me a couple of the drivers took an active role in trying to make me miserable. Which I was. Numbers of People noticed and mention but nothing was done. The management took pleasure in informing people who were gathered in the lobby that they had been told by the senior manager that they were going to get rid of someone when they next come in. So I knew before the person who was being let go. Confidentiality 0%
