area support manager (Current Employee) – Manchester, Greater Manchester – 24 April 2018
Having worked for this company for 8yrs I can give an experienced opinion.
In the beginning it was a pleasant company to work for but after 2yrs it gradually got worse to work there. The senior management was absolutely atrocious and very rarely supported me

Positive atmosphere and great teamwork
Cleaner (part-time) (Former Employee) – Derby – 29 March 2018
As a cleaner my typical day will be do walk around the shop floor and ensure everything is tidy and safe for customers, to react quickly to any call outs to prevent customers from being injured and deal with customers enquiries as I was at the shop floor all the time, the customers saw me more often than Sainsbury's staff. I have learned how to work in a time but also as an individual, to keep the store safe and clean for customers, use different chemicals for different purposes, manage my time and in busy times work under pressure. The workplace culture itself was positive as staff would help each other out and help others when they had more time or if it was necessary as well as being left with the big responsibility to ensure the store is clean and safe.The most enjoyable part of the job for me was that when I could I helped customers with their inquiries as I knew where products were and that would save time for other members to deal with different tasks as well as being told by customers how happy they were with the work I have produced.
Good place to work
BIM Manager, Construction - Project (Former Employee) – London – 21 March 2018
Good CEO, and most of the team members. Except some inexperience individuals try their best to stay and disrupt others. Other than this, the organisation is very good.
Company
Contract Administrator (Current Employee) – Sheffield – 21 March 2018
No complaints in 6 years, I have worked here continuously in a range of roles and have always been rewarded with a good steady wage, there is room for progression and also the company has vacancies all over the world in a range of sectors.
Mixed Bag- Good bad and very ugly
Unspecified (Former Employee) – Scotland – 18 March 2018
I had a very mixed experience of Interserve,they are willing to train you, invest in you- decent benefits, great team, but very questionable management, people were regularly manipulated and promised the earth, and promises never came. Interserve need to remember that it is people they are dealing with and not just numbers. Great learning experience but very dissapointed by treatment of their most dedicated staff over a number of years
Half and half

Shockingly bad employer
Security Officer (Current Employee) – London – 6 March 2018
No support, no training.
Leave you to fend for yourself.
Management use old school bullying tactics to constructivly manipulate your contract.
Bounce you between interserve groups first security, nightsbridge guarding and interserve. Of which all of them get your wages, holiday, tax drasticly wrong.
Forever chasing back payments of wages.a faceless Hr
Very bad employer would not recommend.

Great Company To Work For
Commercial Manager (Former Employee) – London, Greater London – 23 February 2018
Great people to be around with, very high quality of work. Everybody is professional in every way. Everybody in the team brings something unique, and most importantly they always have the passion and time to share it with others.
Poor pay, no job security.
Plumber/Handyman (Former Employee) – Winfrith, Dorset – 22 February 2018
The hours are good, but for a trade person they want to pay the bare minimum, mountains of paperwork to boot....if your looking for a temporary post, it's will do, but look for something longterm elsewhere.
Pros
Nice Weekly hours
Cons
Poor pay & mountains of paperwork
Straight forward job
Cleaner (Current Employee) – Whitstable – 21 February 2018
This job has short hours early in the morning which isn't very desirable but fits in well with the rest of your day. The job is made up of straight forward tasks such as sweeping, mopping and hoovering which makes the shifts easy and you can just come in and get on with what you need to do. I have had issues with staff absences meaning I had to take on a larger workload at very short notice or with no notice at all, meaning tasks had to be prioritized and not everything would get done throughout the shift.
Overall an alright job and a fairly good work atmosphere and the staff around the store are friendly and polite which creates an overall more positive work atmosphere.
