ABSOLUTE THIEVES
I have been working here for 6 months and have heard bad things about them, but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. They charge you what they call Admin fees, which is £30. And they charge you this without an explanation. If you are a hard worker and want to work for 7 days, they will let you, but just know that the more you work, the more Admin fees. Very often, I was charged over £300-£200 weekly in Admin fees. On paper, you should get paid around £1000 if you work 7 days. out of the 8 weeks, I worked 7 days, the highest I got paid was £680. After the Admin fee issue, there is the Deposit. They take £100 for the first five weeks. If you want to leave, I have been told you will never see the £500 because they make it stuff and overprice the fixes to make sure they never have to pay the £500. I didn't believe it. Last week I returned the van, and I thought, after seeing how the van looked and what the inspection lady said, that there is hope that I can get some of the deposit back at least. i got the document few days back, and it turns out that I owe them more than £100. They charged me for the worn tires that surprised me, a dent on the driver's door (which I assume happened because someone hit their door with it, the dent was so small you can't see it, you can only feel it with your fingers), and they charged me £182 for it. Long story short, they know that the people who work these kinds of jobs are hardworking people who don't have the time and the money to take legal action so they abuse the power as much as they can. Go find somewhere else to work for your peace of mind, and if you don't have any other choice, be ready not to see the deposit and 2-week payment. GOOD LUCK
