What is overtime like at Screwfix?
Pros
Everyone is very kind and their covid rules are pretty good. There is always something to do. Can progress up the ladder if you are motivated.
Cons
There is no loyalty, you can help out and do overtime and get a good rapport with customers and colleagues and managers but if you’re a minute or two late one day you will be called out on that with no leniency whatsoever. Very high expectations for hard working staff and extremely low expectations from the others, needs to be fairer. Can’t just expect the hard workers to be working constantly while another is on their phone in a corner. Systems need updating also
Advice to Management
Look at how much people do and consider this when making decisions. Don’t expect different amounts of work from different people without fair reason I.e sickness/injury/other wellbeing issue.
