    Biffa Loader, September 2023

  • Best thing

    The locations are nice / coastal

    Worst thing

    Very low pay for where I live - the cost of living greatly outweighs the hourly rate. The responsibility of driving / loading in one of the most dangerous jobs in the UK is not met by the poor wages; yet office based managers get high sslaries and bonus’s
