Certas Energy Reviews

Pros

Days off are about the only Pro

Cons

This is the first company I have worked for that treat you in such a terrible manner. Team Leader on drugs whilst working and head management seem to have known but ignored it until people stood up for themselves. Your private information gets talking about amongst your team mates and theres only one place it could have came from (Manager or HR) HR ARE TERRIBLE!! and will back stab you at any given point. Terrible pay for work load. Customers speak down to you, I would never ever advise anyone to work here, and I always avoid Certas Garages now because I aint giving them one more penny to my time ever again.

Pros

1 hour lunch and free instant coffee/milk

Cons

Terrible managers, they don't seem to care about anything, nothing works properly - from delivery to payment.

Pros

Fast paced and some good people

Cons

Some politics but getting better

Pros

Some good people work there (although most leave) Reasonable remuneration

Cons

Toxic/blame culture Heavily bureaucratic Consumed with internal politics Cliquey

Pros

struggling to see one right now

Cons

Could get seriously ill working here now

Pros

Discount on Costa, some of the staff are great. Management and "supervisor" are terrible.

Cons

No full break. They'll take you on as part time like you applied for then give you full time hours that are increasingly hard to do due to other commitments. Bad training then spoken to like an idiot in front of customers due to THEM not even showing you that you're supposed to do something. I think they must expect you to be psychic. Supervisor going on about stock rotation when she doesn't bother with that herself. Being there nearly every single shift upto 40 mins UNPAID. (Can I take these minutes out of my notice period when I hand my notice in?) You'll notice an array of new staff every so often as no one wants to stay.

Pros

The best bit of the day was when you got you to walk out of the terminal gate on your way home, without being called back by the useless supervisor who is definitely not trained in personal people skills...what an total class 1 A.hole!!

Cons

Having to turn up for your shift or having to go into the office because you've been summoned by the supervisor as he has his favourites, but will pick on & bully the ones who aren't. He hates being questioned or answered back too, very childish attitude. The manager needs a spine as he wont back up any drivers issues with the higher Management ( & they're something else)!! Moral through the driving team ( the real workers) is really low. Most dont stay long, its basically a training academy for new drivers to get basis training then leave to work with other companies who respect the drivers. HR live in a different world & wages rarely get it right...be warned!!!!

Pros

the local team are ok, nice people Staff are trying so hard to make the company money but it is never enough for the directors. The company used to be good but has gone downhill since the senior management team came in I used to recommend the company to people but I feel guilty some of them are stuck in a similar position to me, would never recommend Certas to anyone

Cons

very senior managers don't care. They pretend that they do HR is awful, they will lie to new recruits and get rid of you if your face doesn't fit, seldom based on performance. High staff turn over due to bullying tactics

Pros

wages not dad,working with other helpful drivers

Cons

bully boy management if they get their on way very sad
