Wolseley Employer Reviews

Wages were well below industry average when compared to accurate data. Employee Benefit pkg was changed occasionally to advantage of employer. Impossible to identify culture/values because what management said was too often at odds w/ what was expected. Too many excellent fellow employees discovered too late how little their contributions were appreciated; – more... job security was non-existent. A Union might have been a good thing here. Most managers had no clue regarding the actual amount of work required to accomplish the goals set. Those that tried to improve such situations were almost always overridden by the more remote (& less capable) upper management. Work/life balance was (mostly) ignored when it suited management short term goals.

At first it was a decent place to work. Wages were OK but not great. Occasionally there were perks such as free meals & paid time off. Company resources (shop, tools, vehicles etc) were reasonably available for employees to borrow/use. Time was allotted (& not infringed upon) for any extra work required (ie: clean up @ end of day). Gradually things changed; wages did not keep up w/ inflation, perks reduced, staff functions drastically cut (most notably Christmas parties) or scheduled during work breaks, resources severely restricted and work demands increasingly unreasonable & without adequate compensation.

Towards the end of my employment a typical day would start as soon as you arrived (even if early) and usually end 5-10 min later than normal work hrs w/ few or no breaks in between. I can count on one hand the # of uninterrupted coffee/lunch breaks I had during the last yrs. Little of that extra time (before/after & breaks) was compensated for by overtime payment. Of course, if one was minutes late in the AM (or left slightly early) it was a VERY different matter. With few exceptions I can state that my fellow workers were among the best I've experienced anywhere. I will also state that the exceptions were among the worst; one of which was as useful as a screen door in a submarine. Incompetence personified. My most enjoyable moments were when I had done something well, plus the appreciation a lot of customers showed as I served them. It's unfortunate that same appreciation didn't show up on a paystub but no doubt management bonuses were based on profit margins. The hardest thing to do was deal w/ those who didn't know their job or were simply too lazy to do it. To the best of my knowledge they're still there. – less

hardest is to remember all locations of items

I worked at wolseley at first thought it was a good job then that's when they throw you in at deep end staff not trained to do their jobs properly. The management had no people skills what so ever.
Management would regularly shout at members of staff in front of customers. People would start working for the company on different wages even if was the – more... same hours and roles.
The workload is unmanageable there is so much you don't have time to think. Stocktake is even worse have to start at 7am til 10pm with no lunch provided or tea and you never get any gratitude
It's the worst place I have ever experienced in my 20 years of warehouse work – less

I currently manage all Plumb Center customers that install Renewable technologies for Central England and East Anglia. My customer base is made up of approximately 250 accounts that range from installers to housing associations. I support these accounts by keeping them up to date with newly released products, legislation and regulations, producing quotes – more... for large projects and aiding with designs and specifications. Another key area of my duties is to manage the BPEC training courses and MCS accreditation that is held with the Wolseley Sustainable Building Centre (SBC). I always endeavour to bring as much new business into the SBC as possible to get businesses up to speed with Renewables and increase sales through Plumb Center. I also promote Plumb Center at Renewable seminars and events within my region by showcasing our product range and services. – less
