Ignored my emails, never updated me for the jobs I applied for, much better recruiters out there who actually do their job

Terrible agency. Treat workers like cattle but offer zero respect. Have no idea how to run a business, nobody on-site is accountable for anything or to anyone (Banbury). Make decisions willy-nilly. Us... See more

Aweful aweful aweful company

Aweful aweful aweful company. I have had so many problems since starting with them the latest being not having access to my payslips 3 weeks into starting with them and being down a large amount of money with no explanation why. They literally have one job which is to pay me, the company I work for sorts everything else out and they cant even manage that.
I have escalated problems with them previously and got put in contact with the branch manager for 'better communication' who was cocky to me on the phone and never bothers replying to my emails.
The next step will be going to my employee to get this company removed from there books so no one else has to go through this.

Reply from Meridian Business Support

We are really sorry you feel this way. We apologise that there was initially a short delay in getting you set up on our online portal. With regard to your pay, you were paid correctly by Meridian, but as we explained, because you didn’t complete your P46 you were put on an emergency tax code by HMRC and unfortunately we don’t have any control over this, the only way to rectify it is for the individual to contact HMRC. The branch manager does not feel that he was at all cocky and he did leave you a voicemail asking you to come back to him if you needed more help or support. If you want to discuss anything further, please email enquiries@meridianbs.co.uk and we will be happy to help.

They break the law

The first priority of any employer should be paying their employees. This is not a priority of this business. They break the law with their business practises, e.g. length of time returning pay to employees. They fail to keep their employees informed, and don’t inform you that your contract is finishing until the day it finishes. The management is a joke, don’t even bother trying the phones for the doncaster branch they won’t answer. They will have you filling out forms regarding your tax code yet you still have to ring up and sort it out yourself. Their response to asking for help with this is “i don’t have time for this it is not important”. Luckily I knew how to solve this but there was a few younger people who had never done this before. Just don’t rely on them. Bad company

Hi Chloe, sorry to hear about this. I have spoken to the branch and the manager has been trying to contact you to discuss your issues. In the meantime, if you want to contact us with further details, please email marketing@meridianbs.co.uk.

My experience of Meridian

My experience of Meridian, Derby, has been fantastic over a continous 6 year period. The staff have always found me relevant and enjoyable jobs on both a temporary and permanent basis. I always ABSOLUTELY recommend the skills of Katie, Davina and Karen in finding the right job at the best rate of pay in a convenient location. My recent, new, permanent job came via temp work through their introduction. 5 star service! Thanks so much to all the Team at the Derby Branch. Stephanie Eden

Very poor company

Very poor company, their accounts department keep getting bills wrong and always in their favour. The main contact was a pest / nuisance and just would not stop phoning and emailing.
WE WILL NEVER RECCOMEND THIS COMPANY OF USE AGAIN.
