I worked for first call in Waltham cross in 1997 with some friends and relatives we were sent to Enfield to work for a clothing company l remember the managers name of first call was Carl he asked us if we have any friends who are looking for work and we brought all our friends they took us in a van to work for a clothing company in Enfield.me and my Auntie had been paid in the same account when we were waiting for the first call van to pick us up to take us to work l went to cash machine to check how much we had been paid by first call.the balance was 133 pounds in the account my Auntie had been paid 85 pounds for 40 hours of work and me l had been paid 48 pounds for 24 hours of work.then we told everyone else to go check how much they had been paid.most of them had been paid 75 pounds for 40 hours of work.then when the driver came to pick us up we said we are not going to work until they pay us what we worked for.first call were near theobalds grove station l went to collect money for one lady they paid her 55 pounds for 5 days work.then when we asked the manager why they paid us so little they asked us for our passports and work permits to be honest we didn't have work permits but what l want to say is that they took advantage of us making us do hard job for very little payment coz they knew we could nt complain anywhere.l heard that one lady was so desperate for money that she continued to work for first call they paid her 75 pounds a week for 40 hours of work.75 pounds a week is better than nothing.but still what first call did was wrong coz we were about 25 people they must have made alot of money out of us and they were...
Read moreThe application process was quick and straightforward. After my in person interview appointment on Thursday 19th June I was told i would be able to start work the coming Monday 23rd June. However, till now I have not once been called for work even though i send my availability weekly sometimes maybe even more than once. I even called the contact number given and sometimes my call was not attended to and even when my call was answered the lady on the other end of the phone told me that i just need to keep sending my availability and did not offer any help even though i was asking her what i should do differently to be called upon for work. It has been nearly a whole 2 months since i joined the agency and i have not been given a shift once. This review will probably just get an automated response from the agency asking me to contact them personally but what is the point if i already have...
Read moreNot even worth 1 star. The staff are very rude, unprofessional and full of themselves. They look down on people. I have never ever in my life witnessed that type of unkind behaviour and particularly from a 'girl'. Personally, I couldn't tell if she is a boy or a girl because she is so ugly and guess what. She is uglier on the inside. They told me to come at 10 am. I was on time but when I arrived with my friend she said come back at 11.30 or tomorrow and it took me 1 hour 20min to travel there. The way they talk to people is extremely rude and unprofessional. You will be shocked if you go there. I wouldn't wish that type of experience on my worst enemy. I don't know who the owner is. If there is one, please consider...
