Never Never work for them (USA division)

Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - United States - March 3, 2021

Poor management, invalid promises, delay payment all the time and never care about their employees, it's a very small company although they try their best to make them looks like a big one but unfortunately it wasn't. If you don't want your money gone after all you hard working, please be caution to this company.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Everything

Management and Operating Ethics

Delivery contractor (Former Employee) - Greater London - September 17, 2020

These people are just unrealistic users, they will text you whilst driving and expect you to answer immediately. They direct you to drive into congestion charge zone and then dispute it even though you have screenshot evidence. You will do wastage mileages because they direct you back to an area you could have covered first time round. Difficult to contact group after 10pm(they all probably in bed) for advice whilst you're still out delivering, what company expects you to be looking for delivery address at midnight. They have no loyalty to workers, they terminate contracts without notification and make up flimsy reasons. Don't rely on this company for long term employment. They charge you for equipment, which company charges you £10 for hi-vis even though you are promoting their name free. Little wonder why facility they use for processing makes attempts to snatch customers from them.

Pros

Nothing is free at Laundryheap

Cons

Job insecurity, poor human resources, constant payment dispute, poor management

Operations team is pathetic.!!

Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - April 1, 2020

At first they give your some high figures of income that you can achieve. But never it’s achievable. Iv met around 25 drivers across both their platform and one thing is each driver has said... no one knows the exact calculations of what your earning. Some days it’s better staying at home rather to spend money and time of fuel. What ever they promise you, deduct 35-45% That’s what you will be getting. It’s totally misleading and their management is incredibly the worst Iv come across.

Pros

If it’s your first ever job and not fussed about pay.

Cons

They dont pay accordingly, 5 Staff members including management have lied openly.!!

Satisfactory

Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - London - August 14, 2019

Decent job for extra hours of work, however in terms of clarity and what the job entails; the company needs to-do more work. Self-employed role questionable ( pick your shift, provide your own van but they dictate your route)

Pros

Cancel shift with 24hrs notice

Cons

Poor management, not sustainable job

Hi There, Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear that you've been frustrated with out platform, however, we are intending on making some changes on order to better support our fleet of couriers. Some things we have or will do are:1) Our Fleet Team is under new management 2) We're moving to a slot selection system, rather than slot allocation (as at current)3) We're currently in the process of a pay review to ensure we're paying our couriers a fair amount 4) We're in the process of changing our per task payment system to give greater transparency5) We're in the process of re-designing our invoice system to reflect that greater transparencyWith respect to the "dictating your route", we have a team who go through each zone trying to optimise the route based on delivery windows and distance to next job in an attempt to reduce the time spent completing it (and making our courier's lives easier). When you're completing a slot, if you feel the route is incorrect or could be improved, we welcome you to contact our Live Support Team who may be able to make changes. Once again, thank you for getting in touch! We welcome you to discuss this feedback in more depth with us, so please feel free to get in touch with us via scout@laundryheap.com. Thanks, Quaid!

Unsure of this startup

Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - London - July 18, 2019

Support and communication is done over email or a whatsapp group with people from uk or India depending on time or day, work is not consistent, I went 3 weeks without a single shift and was told it's because AM blocks are rare but 3weeks before that and after that they had no issues giving me work. Pay is discret with a very bad breakdown report system were its unclear how much your actually getting paid per task as you do not get paid by the hour but per task. They do not tell you if you got a bonus or a penalty charge. You have to somehow work this out on your own. Also they constantly add more tasks to your route as your working, sometimes 10 to 15miles away from your current location and apperently your the only driver in the whole of London that can pick it up.... Alot of improving is required from this company as it's not structured very well for the uk market.

Pros

Sometimes you can finish work in 2 to 3hrs

Cons

Everything else.
