Pros

Overtime is paid if you want it Quality of installs are great Pension Paternity leave if you've been with the company over a year

Cons

Work loads are crazy Management deal with jobs handed back and will penalise you for sending jobs back when your stuck on a day No sick pay if its your first instance you'll be paid for upto 10 days after you need to be clear 12 months rolling even if you have a work related injury Their tell you to do as there say and youl get so and so upskill but in reality there pick n choose who there want upskilling and keep you waiting when there's nothing realy there You are treated like a number and hard work isn't rewarded Base pay in one of the lowest In the industry No gym benefits On call doesn't pay great and if you finish work late your work loads for the next day stays the same Taking micro Management to a whole new level

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback, both the positives and the areas of concern. It’s encouraging to hear that aspects like overtime pay, pension, paternity leave, and the quality of installations are seen positively. I also take the challenges you’ve outlined seriously, particularly regarding workload, how job handbacks are managed, sick pay policies, opportunities for upskilling, recognition, and compensation. Your points about on-call pay, micro-management, and lack of benefits like gym access are also noted. Feedback like this is valuable because it highlights areas where we can make real improvements to better support our team. While not every issue can be fixed, it may allow a better understanding as to why things are the way they are. If you’re open to it, I would appreciate a chance to discuss these concerns further so they can be investigated and raised with the relevant teams. Please feel free to reach out to me directly for a chat. Richard Hutchison, Head of Installations
