i CURRENTLY working with kellys and intend to stay with them.
yes the hours can be long.......
and yes the hours are sometimes short!!
since starting with the company, after completing my ttaining, i have been paid EVERY 2 weeks. every other friday with out fail.
yes i have to pay 'bestpay' for my accounting.
EVERYONE who is self employed should have an accountant anyway!!!
(this fee is tax deductable......fool!!!!).
if you keep a record of every job, includung details of that job, you can tally it up when you receive your invoice EVERY fortnight.....
we're SELF EMPLOYED.....keep a track of your own work....fool!!!!
if you dont......how can you expect anyone else to do it for you!!!!
there are days when the work is hard.....but there IS a difference between rushing and leaning to work quickly......fool!!!!
oh yeah.....on the libal thing...... we're not ALL cowboys......fool!!!!!
if you have been working with people who have been cutting corners/taking risks and YOU haven't reported that back then YOU are just as responsable for bringing us ALL down.....just cos some people have upset you, please dont bring us all down.
i work in the nottingham area. i have loved the job since day 1. its a rare thing when you can work some where and actually get paid for the work you do, and not get a fixed wage and get ripped off by a director skimming the profits for his/her own pockets.
really though....unless you have worked from every depot, and with every engineer-then you CANT speak for us all........
fool!!!
Its nice to hear someone is embracing working at kellys. I can tell you that they are better paid than VM service techs. Some of these Kellys lads are earning big bucks because they have learnt to do the job very quickly and to a good standard.

From my own personal experience I can tell you that some kellys techs are absolute cowboys and have the IQ of a peanut, however I know a couple of them who do awesome at the job and are a credit to both Kellys and VM.

Unfortunately working for Kellys is both hard and pressurising so only the hardest survive. If you can thrive in kellys you can thrive anywhere! I wish more of them had your attitude.
