Reviews about Pay & Benefits for Driver at Brakes Group
Don't care about the drivers
Driver (Current Employee) – Warrington, Cheshire – 24 October 2018
Management only care about getting the job done, even at the expense of the drivers health and well being. Drivers opinions are not listened to and bad organization makes what could be a very good job into a very hard one.
Pros
Company benefits ie cheap food. Good wage.
Cons
long hours and disregard from management.
Work hard
Driver (Current Employee) – Aylesford, ENG – 6 October 2015
Turning up not knowing where you are going for that day and with the possibility of extra work once you have competed yours isnt a great advert. The wage is good but you certainly earn every penny you make. The management team changes weekly and with several managers getting the boot in the last year it's a worrying time at Brakes. agency staff make up a big portion of the staff but as many of these seem to have gained their hgv licence through Kellogg's the accident rate is very high. There are some good supervisors there as well as one good manager but there are snakes at Brakes that have there own agenda. A overal strange place to work. Lots of promises and good ideas being thrown about but with little effect at the end it has to be a gamble staying at this place.
Pros
It's a job
Cons
Long hours, hard work, poor management with weak skills
very long days
HGV2 driver (Current Employee) – Newhouse – 28 September 2015
Long days of very heavy work with little incentive for improvement. Genuine problems and concerns aren't generally taken seriously by management. Seems to be a culture of demoralising staff to get rid of them cheaply. Too many managers and any fair delivery routes that dont go well over drivers hours go to their pals. Overtime has to be worked regularly but is seldom paid. My wife is beginning to doubt that I could possibly be working all these hours with no reward. Don't know where she really thinks I am at these times.
Pros
reasonable salary
Cons
ridiculous hours and most overtime unpaid
