Pros

Flexibility with hours and job and knock Scrap Good benefits, lunch allowance, yearly bonus, shares Learn renewable heat pumps

Cons

Turned awful since January 2025. Before was a great firm, now turned very greedy. Made so many sparks and plumbers redundant so less labour to help out on bigger installs, yet they try to decrease the time frame to complete jobs. Lots of pressure to complete the job, very heavy and labour intensive work, lots of overtime you feel obliged to do. No work life balance. So many managers changing. No health and safety. Not work breaking your back for low salary.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
