Pros

Good people in the depots Good units Option to buy more holiday

Cons

-Management have no idea what happens on the ground. -Senior Management constantly promise change but are very rarely able to deliver. -They want to get units out the door but do not help when depots are highly utilised making the company look unprofessional. -Used to have a family feel but all now very corporate and greedy. -Constant battle to get units out the door. Commission for sales people is constantly cut when they start exceeding targets.

Pros

Yard workforce were great and worked wonders under very difficult conditions.

Cons

Underpaid and undervalued. Senior management simply do not have a clue,or simply don't care,what problems their workforce have. Management outwardly say the right things but don't deliver on anything,complaints were dismissed as "usual gripes" and ignored. Workforce were demoralized and constantly looking for work elsewhere,due mainly to senior management and company decisions. Hire fleet was in a really bad state,but yard still expected to polish t*rds and get them out on hire. Us and them mentality with the office. The yard staff were looked down on and were seen as disposable. High turnover of staff due to all the problems listed above.
