Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Travis Perkins full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
I started off in another position working for PTS, the training was mainly in house throughout the scheme and was relevant to daily operations. The pay at the time for the work was fairly ok!
Cons
I got moved three times during the scheme due to them liquidating half the branches and cycling out old managers. I worked in Birmingham, Bristol and Nottingham... was given tons of false promises and then thrown into an underperforming branch where half the people challenged me due to my title! I can’t comment more than that however because I was paid off to keep my lips sealed! Just make sure if your doing the scheme that you don’t work for PTS as for some reason they’re paid from the branch... the managers don’t like that!

Pros
Progression - you really can go places in TP Support - everything is in place to support your progression from management development programmes to senior management development programmes from those who are aiming high and have the potential. The best at what they do, great stock range Good people Good benefits in terms of pension contributions, private healthcare etc
Cons
IT systems are awful. They started a project for a whole new IT system but this has been put on hold. It is desperately needed, this will hold the company back if it isn’t already Salary isn’t amazing A lot of people who won’t change and are stuck in their ways
