Pros

IPAF HGV delivery driver. The job was local in Bridgend.

Cons

Certain driver’s don’t speak to each other because of ongoing differences which have been ongoing for years! Some drivers are too familiar with management and get to pick and choose which jobs they want. If you ain’t local your made to feel uncomfortable, to the point that you feel like your on another planet! Don’t expect a new truck . . ever, as you will be an addition to the other drivers. They get the new kit and you get the oldest truck that they have abused and broken. Filthy job with old stretched lashing chains and bent binders to secure loads. No time to clean the bed of your truck unless you do it in your break.

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
