Pros

You get a stocked van, paid a wage and meet a few good people. That's pretty much it. Fuel card.

Cons

Spent 8 months with Homeserve. Previous company was bought out by them. Right from the off we were lied to about what was going to happen when we were taken over. We were told they had no intention of changing our current contracts when we TUPE’d across but within a few months a new contract was put in front of us and given the ultimatum... Sign or leave. It's not a bad thing seeing as their compliance side leaves a little to be desired. From covering up poor workmanship to failing to report dangerous situations, Homeserve have it all. I wouldn't trust a Homerserve engineer in my house doing any type of work. The office stack you up with work and the job times are too short the amount of checks that are required. Customers are subsequently let down every day because of this.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback. We’re disappointed to read your 'cons' of working for HomeServe. The Fair Pay project you refer to was undertaken in order to make pay fair for everyone by having a system and process that is clear, transparent and equitable and one that allows all employees to understand where they are in the business and where they are going in their own career. We consulted with 3,004 of our colleagues (Engineers, Frontline and Support) on the Fair Pay project and we are really proud of the fact that to-date 95% have accepted the new terms and conditions. I can also assure you that the safety of our Customers and our People, in the field or on our sites, is absolutely paramount to us and suggesting otherwise isn’t true. We are never complacent about safety, the foundation of our business is built on Customers feeling safe. We are extremely proud of our Engineers and the exceptionally good Gas Safe Audit score that we have achieved. Anyway, looks like leaving HomeServe was the right thing for you. Good luck with all your future endeavours.

Great exposure and a chance at a full time offer if you make the internship count.

Cons

Definitely a learning curve as with any company so you need to speak up and ask questions.
