Pros

Varied role, okay starting salary

Cons

- Bullied by management and staff, physically and verbally. Kicked, slapped, name calling, public embarrassment. All on cctv and some recorded via my mobile. Was paid 2 months without work to leave the company when reported. Offered by an area manager (Edmundson) who was very supportive, showing the good values higher up in Edmundson. - Negative company culture in electric centers. - Really poor graduate scheme. - Disrespectful staff/management. - Electric Center (owned by Edmundson) corrupt hierarchy with no opportunities for development for graduates. - Worst experience of my life, let alone in my career.

Thank you for your review which makes very disappointing reading. Your poor treatment and experiences described in your review are completely unacceptable and I would like to try and assure you that it is most definitely not the conduct the company expects from its employees. It falls well below the high standards we set and is not tolerated. I have spoken to the Regional Director responsible for the branch where you were based and understand that you raised a grievance at the time which was duly upheld, resulting in disciplinary action being taken against the employee in question. I am sorry that this experience resulted in you deciding to leave the company as we are company that prides itself on its professionalism, high standards, values and above all how it treats its employees. It's also unfortunate that your experiences have resulted in you forming a negative impression of our graduate scheme as we have been running it for more than a decade and have recruited hundreds of graduates during that time - many of whom have gone on to have great careers with the company.

Pros

Profit share Overall a good company

Cons

Multiple managers no clue Regional support negligible pcm always supported Multiple jobs absorbed no recognition Wages low in comparison to other wholesalers No yearly wage rise no review Having to ask for a wage review isn't always appreciated Being the one person that knows most does the most trains everybody stands by the spi's and health and safety At the end you are no more no less than what you're contract says. Do not take up any more jobs positions with out a new contract and wage scale Don't beguiled by the promise of profit share you only get what the pcm wants to give.

Pros

You can get a Company car quite early

Cons

Graduate training scheme is mostly a lie there is not set pipeline to management so your training is purely luck based on if you are input in a bigger branch and are allowed to stay there Achieved double my target and was told my bonus would be less than last year due to "unforeseen costs"
