fun work place an lots to do
warehouse worker (Former Employee), st helens – April 22, 2013
Pros: half hour breaks
Cons: trapping fingers in the trays
a typical day at work would be to sort our selfs out on the tray wash and it was a laugh joking about with everyone but also getting the work done an meeting the targets at the same time. the magnament help out if we was stuck an the workers got on with each other all the time.the hardest part of the job was when it was getting late in the night shifts – more... an just pushing on the most enjoyable part was having a laugh with everyone while doing the work. – less

Does exactly what it says on the tin
Drivers mate (Former Employee), Killingworth – April 22, 2013
Pros: keeping fit and like the people i work with
Cons: no job security
Best connection are an agency that got me work at Fenwick furniture department delivering furniture in and around the newcastle area. Whilst its a nice place to work and I get along with everybody there are very little benefits. The contract is on a rolling week to week basis offing very little job security, the money is mininum wage and the work is – more... physically very demanding.

Having said that It keeps me physically fit and I love working outside. – less

the Best Connection (DO NOT WORK FOR THEM)
welder (Former Employee), oxfordshire – March 7, 2013
i could not understand why they have such high security on their doors when you go to see them, but when you work for them you begin to understand why. staff are super rude, unprofessional ,dishonest and unpleasant, and will rip you off.

Cons: the are the best conn men
i have worked for this agency on and off for sixmonths, the issues are the call you up book you then cancell ,blame the supplier.
promise to call you back then dont,promise to return your emails
then dont..payproblems not on time often short..issues with time sheets rates adim problems ,issues if you have your individual umbella company.If you raise – more... an issue then they ignore it and dont give you work.then only call you when they are desperate,but because they are so unreliable they over book you so that more people turn up than are required.. – less

Worst agency around
Desperate worker (Former Employee), Carlisle – September 6, 2012
Pros: money in my pocket
Cons: more money than what i get goes into their pockets for the work i do
I know these agencies are all rubbish but this one really is at the low end of the scale. Phone calls at 7:50am begging you to start a shift at 8am, and if you cant make it you dont get work for another 2 weeks.

– 16 October 2012

Best connection: just a warning to those of you looking for work! steer well clear of the best connection. they make up loads of lies to keep u on a string. they will call you at silly O'clock to help them but they will not help you. they might give you a few days then they will just drop you with no good cause. please for you're own sake and soul do not give you're details to best connection.
