Re: Kelly Communications

Hi All,

I have just completed an interview with Kelly communications, and I would like to warn the other ppl who have been contacted by them. They would hire me, but I'm going to refuse the offer....

1. There aren't any positive feedback on them so far.....it's quite obvious sign to stay away from them

2. They seem not to give a **** about anything.....for example they have promised to send me details via email, but they did not (maybe they are afraid of this because it can be used as evidence against them later)....after I left a voicemail they have replied via !!!!TEXT!!!!.....so unprofessional.....and they have done this on several occasions, even when we have tried to arrange the interview!

3. they're not honest, they have tried to cover details, and when I asked they did not provide clear answers

4. they did not mention that I need to pay for equipment, travel etc, but I have heard from previous and current techs that Kelly's going to refund it from the salary

there's a way too long list of concerns about this matter, too long to post it here, but if you read this, PLEASE AVOID KELLY COMMUNICATIONS for your own good!

and I would like to say thanks for everyone who have started threads about these vicious *******s, I would have ruined my life!!!

Re: Kelly Communications

do not under any circumstances work for kelly communications, avoid like the clap!!
with the current pay scheme , even if you are on a daily rate, ever since they sacked their pay role department and out sourced it they charge you 60 pounds a month "admin fee" which cannot be claimed back on your tax return, the company siply take it from your wage , essentially you are paying for the privillage of getting paid . if the work dries up a little you get a call one afternoon to say you have a day off the next day and wont be paid, i have only recently resigned from kellys after 15 years after they lost the virgin media contract , no golden hanshake for me though, just the threat of deducting my wage if i didnt hand my used!!! uniform in, thats how this company opperates, stay away. reports of them winning a large contract for the hughes group on behalf of camelott are over stated, all it is is satalite installs or upgrades, ie: crawling round on your hands and knees in pokey grubby little corner shops or in large supermarkets during the night for no extra money, i'm sure before long they'll manage to cock this one up too !!!!!!

Re: Kelly Communications

Not bitter at all then Mick????

You could do a bit of research before you spout of though fella to be fair, as "reports of them winning a large contract for the hughes group on behalf of camelott are over stated" is so far wide of the mark it isnt even in the same postcode area as said mark!

Very childish post, but then I dont expect anything else really

Re: Kelly Communications

I take it you work for Kelly then ?

(and apparently know each other since you referred to him as "Mick").
