Plenty of overtime and subsidised canteen with hot food (Days and afternoons only) at affordable prices .
On site support from the recruitment agency.
Career opportunities.
Working conditions are better than in many warehouses across Yorkshire (i. e. clean and safe warehouse, plenty lockers, new canteen, wellbeing and h&s officers, huge car park etc.
All in all if you work hard and willing to do the extra mile you can definitely grow at GXO as there are a lot of opportunities to advance in the company.
Cons
Mostly 12 hours long shifts.
Lower than average wages, overtime paid at time and a quarter only.
2 breaks on a 12 hours shift, 1 break on an 8 hours shift. Not so competitive salary, not even on administrator / manager level.

High meeting volume reduces time available for focused engineering work.
Priorities and stakeholder commitments are sometimes established before consulting the engineers responsible for delivery.
Limited trust in experienced employees and their ability to manage their own work.
Internal growth and mobility can feel restricted.
Work-life balance can be impacted by shifting priorities and urgent requests.
Lack of recognition or compensation alignment when additional onsite expectations or workload demands are introduced.
Having a non-technical BI manager overseeing technical engineering work can sometimes result in unrealistic timelines, misunderstandings of development complexity, and decisions being made without sufficient technical input.
