Really Bad to Work For
Domestic/porter (Former Employee), London – March 27, 2013
Pros: none.
Cons: see above
Very very poor management. Do not know employment law, try to change the rules of peoples' contract on a daily basis. No patient care in health service. Employ under qualified and under age staff. Treat staff like dirt. Expected to work with no uniform or equipment. Can not get the pay correct. The list goes on.

Awful.
Cleaner (Former Employee), Ct. – March 21, 2013
Pros: none.
Cons: everything.
I worked at Debenhams for this company.

On my first day of illness, I was told by text message 'u need to bring tops back', implying to me that I was fired.

I worked very hard, probably more thoroughly than my Supervisor.

I later learned that my Supervisor had lied about me to her Manager, claiming that I had said that the job was 'boring'.

I did – more... no such thing.

DO NOT WORK FOR THESE PEOPLE, they are unprofessional in the extreme.

I am not including the dates that I worked with them, for the sake of anonymity. But, I worked for them more recently than I am stating in my start and end date. – less

Work at Rentokil Initial
Customer Care Consultant (Current Employee), Cape Town – January 27, 2013
Pros: early fridays, no weekend work
Cons: no paperless environement, way behind on technology. no promotions, and no recognition for outstanding work. a lack of know how regarding a call centre environment.
Working hours were from 8am to 4:30pm. I have learned a lot about the pest control and hygiene environment. I have learned effective listening and rational thinking. Many of my co-workers are pleasant to work with, however you do have the few that have been trying to work their way to the top and trampling over any one. The hardest part of my job was – more... the lack of technology, although it was possible to fulfill ones job functions, it was extremely time consuming and unnecessary very counter productive. – less

Service Co-ordinator (Former Employee), Auckland, New Zealand – April 4, 2012
Pros: working as a team, and making sure all areas covered, focused team, focused office staff.
Cons: to open building and get my team on the road, one of the last to leave but, was never a problem
I have found working for a Worldwide Company was very challenging. Even though I had been in the Industry for 20yrs+ I was able to learn more about Fumigations, the chemicals used, Ministry of Forestry regulations and Interaction with NZ Customs.
Rentokil Initial fumigation department was a great team of people to work with, we all respected each others – more... needs, we made sure that all problems were solved amicably, had Monthly Health and Safety meetings, serviced any problems with equipment, and vehicles.
Our Operations Manager was a very open minded person always taking into consideration those with families but also when he had to pull the rope in so to speak, then he would. OPS Manager always surveyed what we were doing, and what/where our technicians were at all times. We were able to speak to him on a personal level as well as professional, so all in all I loved my job as Service Co-ordinator. – less
