    A company that has had nothing but success year after year. It doesn't want to give an employee £12 an hour where all around it is a minimum of £12 an hour. You will get back pain in this job nothing more. Not recommended. !

  • @MahamedDegia
    @MahamedDegia 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Very important and appreciate these vids (re all religions) - Eid al-Adha is actually 'in' the month of Hajj, not after - and the time between the two Eids are the same every year (give or take a day) - they both appear on the gregorian calendar approx 11 days earlier every year (due to being lunar months) - this Eid is also known as the Greater Eid of the two. Although most people mistakenly think of the one at the end of Ramadhan (Eid al-Fitr) as the bigger one; most likely due to a whole month of fasting...

    Elmsall drive and Elmsall way both are toxic places !! Most managers .. team coaches .. loss prevention staff are all internally appointed (most of them starter as the warehouse team) so they are actually underachievers in life ! Been bullied for being good for nothing so now as they have became team leaders … coaches .. team managers .. they take their personal frustration out at team with an extremely bad attitude !! Bad bad toxic place !!! Stay way from next south Elmsall distribution if you have self respect or you won’t last thetr long!!!

  • @The-0riginall
    @The-0riginall 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Next as a company is good, but south Elmsall distribution centre (both Elmsall drive and Elmsall way) are extremely TOXIC PLACES! With almost everyone is internal promoted as a manager and they all are underachievers in life!! Been bullied !! So becoming a team manager for them is a LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY! And they show it with disgusting bad attitude !! Like I said all the team managers .. loss prevention team (who has been there for quiet sometime) are all underachievers in life!! Been bullied for being good for nothing so now they take their personal frustration out at warehouse team !! Extremely bad bad toxic place to work at both Elmsall drive and elmsall way !
