Worked for this company. the training was dismal, payments never on time, the jobs we went to was always under equipped for the task, sometimes having to travel to another site because this company are to tight to send someone to check what work needs to be done before hand.
having to get to the yard every morning for 530, even if your job is only 15 minutes away, and you can't start till 8. this company aren't very optimised in the slightest. and they tried knocking me for my week in hand. AVOID!
