Angard Staffing Reviews

I dealt with SHYAM GANATRA in recruitment and he could not have been more helpful. He went above and beyond to secure a position of employment for me. Thank you, very much appreciated.

Mr Chris lawson was extremely helpful in tending to my queries in a dignifiyng and professional manner in resolving my concerns. Many thanks Chris.

Despite very mixed reviews, my experience with Angard has been a pleasant one.

While being given plenty of shifts through my consultant Reena, there has never been a problem, she has always been polite and efficient when giving me hours convient for me and I haven't had a rude moment during work either.

I would highly recommend anyone to join.

Agency
deserves -1...only call you if shifts are available which is very rare to get ...in a month they just called me once..unreliable

One is the best agencies I've worked for, consultants are alright,especially Reena,who's been my consultant since August,she is very polite and helpful. Thanks Reena!

I am very happy to have worked for angard for the past 2 years, the pay is great but not enough shifts are given. I am very happy with the consultant Ziaul(zee). One of the other consultant was unable to resolve the issue I tried for a month and I could not relocate my workplace but Ziaul (zee)did it in one day and amazed me. His natural energy is admirable. I am grateful and appreciative of this sincerety. Thank you so much.

I have been working with Angard for a month. I met lovely, friendly people and managers in the workplace they are very nice and humble.

They are giving good responses.they are helping short out our query

I work at Gatwick Mail Centre and my Consultant is the excellent Ibby Nur.

Ibby has been an excellent consultant and tries to be fair when allocating shifts. Always calm under pressure and very polite and professional.

His efforts appear to be hamstrung by the local RM 'management who over-order Angard staff, then cancel a large proportion of them and then telephone selected ones direct in order to make up the constituents of a shift that are either more to their liking or who can actually 'get things done'.

For example, on most Mondays, the busiest day of the week, the building is usually swamped by Angard sending in up 60 new staff. That is hopeless for getting the work done.

One recent Monday, RM booked 65 staff through Angard, then cancelled 25 and subsequently direct-telephoned 31 - some of whom were in the 25 originally cancelled.

Things like this happen all too frequently.

It does not help that the shift make-ups are distorted by one Senior RM Manager renting bedsits and flats to at least 11 staff and that person ensures that his tenants receive ample shifts in order that they may be able to afford to pay their rent!

Another Manager ensures that their stepson attends every Late Shift - nothing like keeping it in the family!

All this reduces the number of Angard staff who are simply trying to obtain regular shifts on a fair basis. It does cause some resentment among my colleagues.

It must be a nightmare for my Consultant.

I like the work and, at my time of life, I don't mind the zero-hours nature of the employment. However, it IS a little nerve-wracking waiting until at least 18:20 each evening, not knowing whether or not a shift will b forthcoming.

This agency have the worst staff ever. They're very rude, they cut you off have before you even start speaking, they lie too much. There is this lady called Daria and I think she is the champion rudest person among the staff, she won't even let you say a word.

I spoke to a lady called Megan when confirming my application and she was very helpful in sending me the required information by email.

Really good place to work people and staff really friendly always there to help with any concerns

I have to talk to swetha from angard staffing she was very helpful about my application.

I have been working with Angard for 6 months. I love working here and enjoy the flexibility of shift.
Staff is very good and James Wright is brilliant, he is always professional, polite and very helpful when giving out shifts.
I m very satisfied with my shifts and James always give me a conformation text when I have a shift. I enjoy working with Angard.

I have been working with Angard Staffing since October 2018 at Stonebridge Park, NW10 7RH. The services receiving from Sapphire are really welcomed. I am happy about ways she speaks and listens to me, books me in and ends our telephone conversation by saying " Kwame good bye". Her attitudes show that she is friendly, respectful and professional. Thank you.

Spoke to Emma other day regarding a delay with my application . She sorted the problem out straight way , was very happy with how my query was dealt with. Emma is very polite and extremely helpful.

I ve been with angard since November, pay is good. As I have been at university Monday-Friday I have been working weekends aswell as weekdays throughout the holidays. Jon and Megan are both friendly, understanding and helpful when booking shifts. I feel that when I work weekdays I am cancelled more than what I should (probably because usually I am only available for weekends) but now that I have finished university permanently I hope to receive more Monday-Friday shifts for now on. I am happy working here and I will stay happy aslong as I receive a reasonable amount of shifts.

Angard staffers are very courteous and pleasant in their dealings with prospective candidates. I am impressed, please.

I attended an induction with Angard just over a year ago for a mail sorter position. I waited over five week before I received a text saying a shift was available - but it was a night shift and I received the text at 2.30 in the afternoon and the shift was to be that night. As soon as I phoned the line was continually engaged all afternoon and I was never contacted again.

I contacted Angard again this week and I spoke to a member of staff who, unlike some of the staff mentioned in other reviews, was very pleasant and polite, she informed me that they didn't have any shifts and they normally only recruit workers around the Christmas season.

One or two of the reviewers misused the word "lady" to refer to a rude woman they spoke to. "lady" should be a respectful term and in its proper sense it means a woman with good manners. This woman didn't deserve to be called a polite word and if someone spoke to a rude man at Angard they would never say "the gentleman was rude".

I had an induction a month a go to work for Royal Mail and that's all I have had. I have tried numerous times to ask them about shifts but they either never answer the phone or have the audacity to hang up.

Sapphire is a very good consultant, she is well-spoken and polite, always asks my availability and I am happy with the service I receive from her. I cannot give 5 star as I am disappointed with the hours I am getting currently which are simply not enough.

I have Been working for angard for almost six year great place to work with our consultant Oliver has always been polite and efficient and is a star he is real asset to the company Goes beyond to help with queries

I am an Angard casual work at Medway Main Centre. I have been working for Angard for the last 5 years and for the first time I met so polite, professional and helpful consultant Holly Watson. She always tries her best to meet our criteria to offer shifts even with short notice. If we email her any query, her response comes pretty quick. I am very happy how she plays her role as consultant.

Very poor response. Such a shame these people are go between for employers and employees. Pathetic

My experience with this company was phenomenal. I loved speaking with Ange Elliot who patiently and kindly helped me to get my job application sorted. Overall, Angard staffing is really professional and great.

Polite, friendly and patient, as I was having trouble locating some information whilst on the phone. Very helpful, a pleasant interaction.

Was answered quickly and connected to Josh who listened carefully to my question, accessed his systems to find the answer and passed it on to me in a way that was very professional and competent. So different in a good way to the normal telephone enquiry experience. Well done!!!!!

I have been lucky enough to have had Terry Davis as my Angard consultant recently and I cannot fault him. He is responsive and professional, and always tries his best to allocate shifts fairly as well as sort any problems out with integrity and kindness. He is a pleasure to deal with and having the knowledge that you are not being ignored is really refreshing. He does an amazing job and most certainly goes above and beyond his job speck. Thank you, Terry.

Constantly giving 1hr notice to start shifts absolutely crazy who can live like that ?

There are some very helpful members of Angard that make getting a shift at Royal Mail Atherstone easy. Jamie Mcbeth has been extremely accommodating lately which is definitely a good reason to work for Angard Staffing to get your shifts at Royal Mail Atherstone

Glad to speak with Megan today before few mints. So friendly and cooperative staff. And get my assessment day confirmation at the same time

Angard is great, lots of shifts, caring people and fair distribution of the shift. I was devastated to no longer have reena as my go to person. everyone was so upset including all the managers, everyone has been talking about this accross the center but we now know she has a well deserved promotion. Will miss this person, contacted me for shifts even though I struggle with the app, was very patient with me and made the time to answer questions and problems quickly, i and my co workers feel well looked after. amazing person which represents a 5 star. We love you. I hope you see this.

Five weeks and still not been paid I bet they get paid on time.never answer emails.phones always engaged or phones switched off.complete joke

Previously worked 0 contract worked solid 10 months excellent moved to Sheffield and only did the induction since 21st November had 52 text message over teh period to today and soon has i got the text click call a split second later and get all the time shifts not available Been advised by Ibby that Sheffield has a preferable staff sheet that manger would request first 23 on list I am shocked had no work at all after a solid 10 months in Plymouth. Need a better way a fair approach for staff to be able to work at least once or twice a week when busy and the list of 23 should be taken away and a fair approach used so all ANGARD staff are given work after 2 montsh let down by Angard for work i feel and going b forum there are many others who didn't get any shifts at all same length f time as myself by clicking call now a split second text comes in Its not a fair system being used needs to change for the better off ALL staff who passed the sort...

Welcome to the worse employer in the country and expect to see most unprofessional behaviour, most unreliable promises and they won't pay your money probably.

Now where do I begin? First of all the attitude of the call centre staff at Angard is absolutely disgusting. It goes to show that the calls are not monitored or the management is allowing all this. Staff always have an attitude issue and are not very approachable and friendly at all. On many occasions they either cut you off during the conversation or give you a telling off for no apparent reason for enquiring about shifts. Next is the management staff at Royal Mail itself. I`ve never seen such disregard and disrespect treatment of Angard employees. Even slaves were better treated back in the years. For the high ranking management reading this review get your heads out of your backsides and do what is right. You have a limited time frame to get this right or serious action will be taken. Awarding 1 star is still an insult. Beyond a joke of a company to work for. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. BETTER CLAIMING THE DOLE THAN BEING INSULTED BY THESE FOOLS.

I had a conversation with Megan Leeming regarding my wait time on one of my application, she is very responsive and helpful.

Thank you great customer service helped in my appointment and application

Thinking of joining Royal mail for Christmas ??? STOP Absolute disgrace of an Agency. Staff haven t a clue regarding shifts. they will text you a shift and in less than 30 seconds that supposed shift will no longer be available, and when they do finally offer you a shift, on arrival at your work site that shift will be cancelled without any notification whatsoever on numerous Occasions. What s more you cannot claim back any travel expenses sure you are often left out of pocket. Staff are also very obtuse arrogant disrespectful individuals who should be hung drawn and quartered.

act for Angard Staffing at The Royal Mail in Hwdc slough last 3 years ,i am working as a assistant operative. it is an absolute pleasure to work with James.

JAMES at Angard is brilliant, very polite, pleasant, understanding and very helpful with the work schedules.

The only criticism is the pay structure isn't explained properly and trying to contact the pay roll department to resolve issues is a bit of a problem.

Overall if you are looking for flexible part time work I would fully recommend it.

Ive applied for work at Royal Mail numerous of times in the last 2 years but they never heard back from them. This year I tried to have a go for the last time and finally got through. I received the weekly text message to book shifts in, i rang Angard to book myself in and the staff were so rude. I would give 0 to their customer service and their management. Surprised how these idiots are still working!

Called angard staffing to put my complaint as my pay rate was wrong and the lady chloe I think put it right straight away. Very important that phone calls are delt with by human beings to companys not just angard

different people have different reply of the same question

I have been working with Angard for a year. It's great! I met lovely, friendly people and managers in the workplace.
Consultant Reena is always polite, pleasant and very professional when giving out shifts. She is outstanding!There are other consultant that are good too like Jamil,Daria,Laura and James.
I can imagine what a great Angard office environment when you work with these lovely consultants.
Angard casual work suits my lifestyle.

Quick and rapid response from Josh Hammond who solved an issue for me.

I had an opportunity of talking with Swetha. She was extremely helpful and polite. She told me that my security checks will done soon and I will be getting information. I am looking forward to get in touch with her soon to get an update. Quite happy with her response.

Don t wast your time! They full of liers. They will tell you as what it said on the job advert and then they will treat you differently. Like-:
1) they won t call you until a shift is available
Through out whole week, you might work 1 day.
2) They don t care about you. Even if you call them for help to ask them why didn t receive a job for this week they probably not give you enough details and hung the phone at you
3) all managers are bad at Royal Mail, they well treat you like as if your direct employed when it s a zero hour contract and treat you lik monkeys and donkeys where you have to stand 8 hours for a dead rate even if its a night shift.

You won t believe it. See it for yourself.
I already feel sorry for those poor people who don t speak much English who s working hard then Royal Mail employs to feed themselves and family. Good luck them.

Bad company

Cannot rate it better , joined months ago but no correspondence since . Poor employer

Great place to work while you're currently studying. A lot of flexibility to work what shifts appeal to you.. short shifts ranging from 4-5 hours is perfect as it allows you to earn but more importantly carry on giving your dedication to education.

Having a understanding consultant (Viktor) helps an awful lot as he always tries his utmost best to accommodate your availability. My short experience with him being my consultant has been nothing short of 10/10. Always very level headed when dealing with my concerns and always comes across very respectful with very good manners. I have been working with Angard for 4 years and must've had over 12 consultants as they tend to keep changing but Viktor is definitely one of the better ones out of all of them. This underlines the importance of having a fantastic consultant and how positively it can impact your experience at Angard.

I know certain individuals that work at Angard who haven't had the best experience and that was mainly due to the consultant and how dedicated they're in terms of engaging with the staff and dealing with day to day concerns..

I'm very grateful and lucky I am represented by Viktor so no concerns within my experience.

I hope this review has helped anyone considering joining Angard.

I have been working for several years and have always found Reena to be an efficient and effective consultant. She is very supportive at all times and is friendly and understanding. In my opinion she is more than willing to accommodate the needs of both the business and staff. Her future is assured.

I have been working at the royal mail for over 2 years , some consultants I have found not to be approachable however Reena has been great , very helpful and polite , great telephone manner and very fair and understanding when handing out shifts .

I have worked at for Angard for nearly two years, completing Customs course last year I am very grateful for the support. I must add two names that shine above the rest Megan and Luke Clements very supportive and also there to motivate and encourage.

Its very clear easy to know everything.
Give a reasponce Early As soon as possible.
Very helpful site for job seekers.

I am working with Angard almost a year now. Like any other company nothing is perfect and there is always room for better. A positive thing is the way they are recruiting and the fact that they are doing some research about each hiring person, I consider a bonus. The people I am working with now are very nice and hard working people. Another positive thing is that every time I had a last minute problem and I talked to Megan, she was always understanding and she always replied to my emails. Jon is always very polite and I have noticed some improvements in his way to manage things.

I spoke to a lady over the phone called Megan.
I wanted to book an appointment for an interview. She was very friendly and helpful in arranging an appointment for me. She took me through the procedure, and sent an email to me with the details of the time and venue of the interview.

Main point of contact is Daniel Manciocchi who consistently communicates very efficiently.

The staff at Angard are very helpful, but Reena in particular is an amazing consultant she is always very polite and kind whilst speaking to us, shift confirmations are always sent and she alerts us in good time when there is a shift change/cancellation. Reena is very reliable and is very responsive during the application process and to any emails with payroll concerns etc.
Thankyou Reena!! :)

Working at Royal Mail is very enjoyable and have met lots of nice people. The work itself is easy and straightforward.

Pay is great after three months.

It's not easy getting through. Have to continuasly keep dialling until someone answers.

There's not much work available. Often once a week.

Paige has been very helpful. She has explained the process and details very clearly.
Smooth and easy! Thanks

I have been working with Angard Staffing since March 2017. I applied for Birmingham branch but fortunately they directed me to Atherstone Internatonal Sorting Parcel and I agreed with that. In the first three months was so confusing as I got more shift cancellations due to miscommunication. However since this company has Ms. Megan Walton, the shift was distributed fairly and they have a new system to manage the shifts, I have been feeling comfortable to work with them. in addition, John Frost now is managing the shift booking and he is as professional as Megan Walton does.
Although when the workload sometimes decreased and had to receive the impact but it was still acceptable since this is a zero hour contract. The key of how to get shift is just the performances we had and doing the best for this job. Sooner or later the Royal Mail manager on duty will recognise us and notice us that we are the right person to be in everyday. However, I saw some such lazy workers who have been working for years and I know they could do better than what they did on P40 check but they are still exist in there. To be fair, Angard should notice those kind of people.
Hopefully the communication should be kept up in the future, the shifts are not only fairly distributed but also set accordingly to the right people.
I would say congratulation for everyone, Miss Megan and Mr Frost, we are such a good teamwork. Highly recommended to work with them.

I ve worked shift after shift and haven t even been paid once I waited 2 weeks just in case it s just taking time but I still didn t get paid. I emailed them over a month ago about 3-4 times but no one ever seems to respond and even when I phone them they put me on hold.

I've been trying for months to get them to stop sending blank payslips to hmrc and to send hmrc my p45, they closed one payroll number down and started another the next day, I've been getting taxed heavy because it looks to hmrc like I've got 2 jobs
I've rang countless times an still no joy, idiots

Rubbish at getting back to people who have applied for jobs even though it was a family and friends "first come first served!" Still didn't get the job

I applied for a job with Angard.
Whenever I call them to follow-up with my application, they where talking to me very positively.
As Emma, Paige and Joshu promised me that they are looking forward to send my application for security check
That what happened. I am very thankful.
They are doing g8 job as a team.
I would give them 5 out of 5 star's .

After working as a xmas casual with royal mail I was transfered to Angard at the warrington mail centre. Love the people I work with on the shifts its hard graft but we get the work done, the booking system is well organised and shifts are allocated in time on most occasions and other shifts become available in between, there is no real set working pattern for myself as if I only get a couple of early ones I need to jump on a night shift to earn cash as this is my only income after being made redundant so for me more hrs the better

Special mention to sujon and miklos who seem to be my main booking contacts both very professional and organised and a credit to Angard

Only downside is you need to work 12 pay packets before your money goes up which I feel is a little unfair after working for royal mail as a xmas casual especially at weekends

I have been working for Angard nearly 15 months and I had a very good experience while working with such a very good team and managers at PRDC ROAL MAIL. Sapphire Dyer is a very good consultant. She is a well spoken and polite. I would like to say about Sapphire just in one word she is EXCELLENT! Thank you very much sapphire.

You'll never have a job where you feel less valued!

Excellent Agency and employer. My consultant Erin shuter is always a pleasure to deal with and very professional and efficient at her job. She is very sweet and helpfully person and she always very polite. Always listen to you very nicely.

The staff are always very polite and helpful. with much knowledge and do make applicants feel at ease. I personally would like to thank Megan Leeming for always being courteous.

Hello it s about our Sheffield consultant chagla Tuk..(Charla).we find her she is very good @ doing her job ...trying manage to distribute shifts fairly among respective shift staff..very polite and having lot of patience's to hear us every time ...we hope to see her continuing to be consultant of Sheffield....gud luck .

Avoid Angard Staffing is a fake agency and if you don't believe me visit their office in Northampton, they're full lies. Their real name is Reed Global and reason behind is Royal mail use the name Angard to avoid people getting permanent position. The name Angard Staffing only exists on their Website and the I.D badge they issue to agency staff.
They don't treat all agency staff equally, the Shifts are distributed first come first serve basis and the staff are rude sometimes.

Started with Angard last October, Have been kept pretty busy since. Sujon and Miklos have been very helpful.

Very polite and very helpful in updating me on my application process and booking me onto a documentation session. Great service.

As someone who has heard from a consultant working at this company, the way workers are treated is of a very poor standard.

Workers are slaves to a contract which uses them

Rude staff, phones are hung up on people, the reason why most don t get any shifts.

New starters are favored as they bring this company money and the regulars workers are not given any work, lied to by saying there are no shifts

A bunch of young inexperienced consultants drive these workers and affect real lives without caring of the consequences so long as they please their manager

I don t understand how this company is still active and still deploying workers to Royal Mail

For anyone wishing to work through Angard Staffing I recommend you stay away as much as you can

This advice coming from someone who has worked for this laughable company

I don t think they have any intention of finding you work, only to sell your details. I applied for Royal Mail casual sorter last spring, registered and never heard anything. They ignore my emails and the phone number either says option 1 no shifts available or the other option someone just fobs you off and tells you to phone back option 1. I applied again this year and went through all the signing up process again expecting to be working over the busy Christmas period but still heard nothing and they are impossible to get hold of. Ended up just applying through Royal Mail directly and I have a start date within a week, compared to the 18 months of waiting for one from Angard.

I have been chasing my P45 with Angard for the past four months - we are now in the new year. HMRC (In October '19) sent me an income tax bill and the P45 is proof this was not of my doing.

I have since October sent an email a week with no reply. I would call but working all the available overtime to cover the costs!

I have had the pleasure of dealing with George Wood. I have spoken to George on several occasions, I explained my personal situation since being made redundant earlier this year due to Covid 19. George is so understanding, he listens well and always tries his best to help me. George is very quick to reply and always has the detail/information I need. George has been supportive and kind to me, during an extremely challenging time of my life due to unprecedented circumstances. Thank you George for all your support and understanding, I really appreciate it....keep up the good work!!!!!

One of the most incompetent companies I have ever dealt with.

You give them full details of what you can and can't do and they completely ignore it.

No one seems to take ownership for anything. Complete waste of my time dealing with them. Avoid at all costs.

Royal Mail need to find a new agency.

Have been with angard since March 2019 and could count how many shifts I've had on one hand!
Text messages received and call straight away to be told no shifts available...how?!!
Don't always send text messages so only find out from colleagues that there is actually work.
Working towards getting 12 paid working weeks to go on higher rate of pay is impossibility when you can't get shifts.
Don't respond to emails you send and staff have been rude on occasions.
It's a shame because I like the job and am a hard worker.
Shifts seem to get allocated to same people week in week out. Unfair allocations.
Needs a complete shake up.
