Blue Arrow Employer Reviews

Doing stock check using hand help devices, finding missing stock and repackaging any stock with damaged packaging.

Co-Workers where fun to get along with as well as the management. Bad thing was the contract was temporary. Management was always helpful.

Blue Arrow was only designed to be temporary. The work is unreliable, the rate of pay is as low as can be and the staff can be very blunt and become agitated easily if you are unavailable (eg Distance, cost etc) for the work they offer you immediately.

This is a good place to work as it allows you to do other activities etc work and study.

The most enjoyable part of the job
is to meet new workmates
the filing,salting out big checks
and learn to think quick.

working for blue arrow was enjoyable liked going to different places

Perfect working environment, work mostly only on weekends, learned time-management, quick service, team-working. Management is really appreciable as it provides all the information in advance, no confusions created and is also very understanding.
Co-workers were from different parts of the country with different cultures and views, I got to learn a – more... lot from them and we used to work as a family.
Hardest part of the job was working at the till, where you have to keep standing continuously for 8-9 hours and ensure perfect and fast service to the customers.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the cleaning job after work where you get time to talk to everyone including management and also celebrate if the work if the collection money was more than expected. – less

A typical day at work would include taking in and washing all used plates bowls and cutlery that people had left on tables. Taking in all used cooking utensils rinsing and using an industrial dishwasher to wash them and hand washing what would not come off. Replacing stores of all these items when clean.

Cleaning work space wiping down tables and making – more... sure that all of the restaurant was clean and tidy.
Restocking fridges and making sure customers were happy . Working around busy chefs. – less

Worked for them last year and i had an accident (very Minor ) they gave me no more work and still owe me for 3 days WAGES.
Horrible people to work for. if your considering working for this lot in CAMBRIDGE then please think twice.... if you are on benefits then stay on them because at least you will get paid.
They never reply to calls, E-mails, Letters. – more... Nothing !
Total Ignorance.
Rip off Arrow is the real name for them. Avoid Avoid Avoid !!!.
Please Ignore the single gold star at the top, but i could not find any red ones. Be Warned.They are Jokers. – less

I am always kept on my toes which I love. I am always busy as I am branch administrator to five people at a bust recruiment agency. I also enjoy this role as I have to play some what of a dectective to reference our candidates as they leave me very little to go on.

My manager is fair and understanding she delegates to me well and I am never short of – more... things to do. – less

a work day at blue arrow is usually fun and exciting but very hands on and fast paced, I learned many skills including food hygiene and coshh and how to organize my time well and manage a small team. co-workers are often enthusiastic and outgoing but more importantly usually had great work ethics.

I really enjoyed working for Blue Arrow, i achieved alot of experience with this agency and learnt so much.

Loading and unloading vans,removing completed stock for future shipment. Also picking orders for future delivery,also working with a good team off people from collegues to management

i worked for blue arrow for 18 months enjoyed the work and enjoyed been part of a team i worked in the dispatch area for the first few weeks then worked shift patterns 6-2 2-10 picking and packing in the library area of the warehouse untill the warehouse was closed in december 2012

at this place you are not respected or valued as an employee
schedules are changed without notice and people are dismissed on a daily basis even if off sick with a valid doctors note

blue arrow sent me on induction for morriston hospital swansea,what they told me that there was a full time position yeah right,what happened was that they wanted holiday cover fair enough but they could have explained this at the beginning....next part it does get better(worse) they rung me saying that the hospital wanted me fine.....but i`d have to – more... pay for my own jabs(tetnus etc) and that they would take ten pound a week off me fo these???? should`nt the employer cover these costs i thinks so and the wages were n.m.w avoid blue arrow like the plague. – less

As agencies go Blue Arrow are definitely one of the better ones ive encountered in Warwickshire. They have provided regular work for me at various sites in the area. Only thing i would say is that theirs no real job security working for an agency but thats not unusual.

My day usually involves serving breakfast, beverages general cleaning and helping staff with additional tasks. All Co-workers are friendly and easy to get on with.

Working with Blue Arrow at Sports Direct could be hard at times especially with the Manager of Sports Direct constantly changing the rota so we are either doing 6 days for more than 3 weeks. The money coming in wasnt too bad and the work people could get used to it. With you being on your feet all the time, it took its toll on them especially only having – more... at least one day a week off. I liked the idea of the three strikes and your out deal because for the people that was just ringing in because they cant be bothered, they shouldnt have the job because there are a lot of people actually wanting to work. – less

I called them to apply for a position in Livingston at the start of june as i seen it advertised online and they asked me to come on registration day. I went it on and after standard discussion I registered.I was told I pass trough and with next couple days they will call me back with info when I start. After one week I call them back and I asked whats – more... happened? Women couldn't find my profile. She asked me can she call me back when other women will be back from lunch time. At very next day I call them back again and she said they are quiet at the moment and next available start will be withing next two weeks. Two days later at 1.45 pm I recived a call - " blue arrow hire.... can you be ready at place of work at 2 pm cause their customer needs operators ..... today only =[ – less
