Re: Not good firms to work for
Cocker Chemicals (now NIPA labs i think) Leaving that place was the best thing I ever did.

Re: Not good firms to work for
You can add Airtours to this list, thank goodness they moved to Rochdale. Some other poor beggars are suffering now.

Re: Not good firms to work for
They are calling themselves something else now. Something like 'Contours' I think.
Seriously, they moved over to Rochdale and I think they were having serious problems a month or so back, but I hadn't heard they had gone to the wall. No bad thing if they have.

Re: Not good firms to work for
Still going as far as I know as part of My Travel, which keeps selling off various parts of the business, most recently World Choice Travel I think.
Believe their Eurosites arm is now part of Eurocamp. Have heard similar remarks about the firm over the years. Did 2 weeks work experience with a My Travel company a couple of years ago. Definitely not somewhere I'd want to work full time. Was supposed to be learning something there, what a joke. Wanted to reorganise the whole place!. Couldn't believe the way they did things.

Time Computers have to be the worst. They do not know how to treat people. They think the best way to motivate staff to achieve targets is by putting them up! WTF They also think that by treating staff like poo that they will be more determined to work harder!!!?????
