Pros

THERE ISNT ANY PROS At my depot the yard is split in two and the ppl that know the job and been there the longest get spoken to like crap and get told they don't work as a team even tho we help each other and and the other team can't have a bad word said about them and they do nothing wrong and they don't help also get told they are the busiest wagons in the yard even tho they fall over there jobs and there's to many sneaks aswell and only help certain ppl out when they break down and what ever they say to the boss goes there way it's all big secrets in my yard and the fact is certain ppl get looked after aswell

Cons

To much work for the amount of staff we have and get told to do it or we get sent back even with a pic our opinions don't count apart from a triangle of ppl what get askd stuff about other ppls round and the ones that do the graft get checked on all the time gets done about near miss's or hazards for the amount of work we do as a single man'd wagon and were you get 2 or 3 ppl on other waste company's wagons which are getting more money per wagon for less work then what we do

Pros

Biffa has been on a real positive journey over the past years and the future is looking bright. The HR team is made up of strong, knowledgeable and connected individuals who are all committed to the 'Biffa Way'. The company culture has a great feel about it, one that's very 'team' based with everyone working together for the benefit of the company. Biffa know that to make their business strategy work, they must align it to their people and ensure first and foremost their people are the priority. Over the last couple of years Biffa have invested a huge amount of money into brand new systems and processes to keep up with technological advances and competitors, as well as investing in new trucks and even electrical vehicles. Progression and development opportunities within Biffa are fantastic, management really want to push and nurture individuals so they can become the very best within the industry. Many people now in management positions have started off in Customer Services taking calls everyday. Overall, Biffa is a great company to work for and has built a nurturing, long term, mission-driven culture amongst it's people.

Cons

Due to being such a large organisation there can be issues with communication and interpretation. Needs to be better flexible working options for those on the front-line.
