Pros

Love helping customers in there hour of needs. Also really easy work but....????

Cons

Well where do I start?been with hs several years now and what a great company to work for at 1st. But Jesus how can a company get it so wrong? 1st they started using really poor goods that are not fit for purpose. Then introducing a change in systems. Yes I can see the benefits in this but when it was flagging up problems it was always the engineers that where to blame. Incidental overtime now seems to be forced onto you everyday so you simply can't arrange to do anything after work. Its not Incidental its bad planning. And as for the planning team they are just bully's or try to be hiding behind a screen. Get your house back into order and take it back to how it used to be.

Hello. Thank you for your review and I am glad you enjoyed working with our Customers, that’s why we do what we do. I get your point about our systems. The introduction of Merlin has been a real challenge for a number of reasons which I am sure you have heard me talk about before. Rest assured, there is never a question of blame, making a change as significant as Merlin needs a lot of work on the system itself as well as from the people who are going to use it, whether it’s our planners or our engineers, we all know that and I’m disappointed that didn’t come across for you. Your point on our goods - I’m surprised to hear that, we have a team of people from across the field who are always looking at new kit and when we do plan to make a change or update something it’s always tested and approved by our engineers, amongst others. I’d never try to pretend that the last year hasn’t been a tough one - but we’re lucky to be in a business that has too much work and needs to ask for overtime than the alternative. I hope wherever you have moved to works out for you. Martin Director of Field Operations

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.
