Pros
Money is alright considering you break your back to do 61 hours a week but then again what company won’t pay good for that many hours. Fixed hourly rate of 10.85.
Cons
This is different from a regular courier role, different as in there is literally no time to sit down, no time to eat, no time to even take off your helmet. On average I do about 200 deliveries per week and that’s with me being lazy sometimes and taking stops in between deliveries to warm my feet or to have a sip of water etc. This role requires you to be on your feet the whole shift as the device they give you to receive orders is expected to be online the whole shift. If that device is off it should only be off for toilet and lunch break. Breaks are not paid for. Also any other reason why it would be off you would get ur manager breathing down your neck asking why is it off, and also because your feet are cold isn’t good enough reason. In other words they expect you to work like a donkey. If you put it into perspective, if I did all them hours and deliveries on Uber-eats or deliveroo I would very possibly be on a 50k+ wage. This is not over exaggerated trust me ask any getir courier how many deliveries they do working full time. My main reason for writing this review- when it’s time for pay day. The payroll team are sleeping. They send payslips late even up to 2 days late. They get your hours wrong and your manager in the store will simply point to the bottom corner of the page and say “there’s the payroll teams email please email them” with the most sarcastic and patronising tone. You have no voice I.e. if something were to be wrong you wouldn’t know who to go to, at one point when my manager was so useless giving me the same email over and over again I felt I needed to go to head quarters and start a strike that’s how low I felt that no one would listen no emails would get responded to no matter the urgency whether you need rent to pay they don’t care. They just care about your device being online to receive orders. Not forgetting this is a new company so they are literally headless chicken from managers to franchise owners. Your best person of advice is yourself and your solicitor and a functional camera for evidence of negligence :)
