I started working down Yes Loans on 7th Jan where i was trained for a week then put into my week in hand, i had to wait 3 weeks before my first pay!
Throughout the time i was working for them they passed me around to different departments even one i had never been trained on but most of us put up with it due to good pay for most of us young people with no qualifications so we was taken advantage of.
Hitting summer last year approaching the credit crunch everything started going mad managers requests from Keith (Wilton) Chorlton the main boss to start making us work overtime over wise we get threatened the sack, not the overtime that bothered me it was the fact we didn’t get paid for any of it.
Normal shifts 9-5.30pm they made us work 9-8pm everyday, Saturdays occasional Sunday, and even bank holiday Monday!
If anyone had a complaint about it all the managers would say is that our bonus pay will cover the overtime we done, the funny thing was that the targets were set high enough so not many people got paid bonus or they wouldn’t pay it and most of us would end up with our basic wage going home tired and stressed.
Not many people argued about the way we was getting treated as everyone knew the credit crunch had hit bad at that time and how hard it would be to look for a new job.
Most departments were having meetings every week due to targets not being hit which was down to the credit crunch but obviously Mr Chorlton didn’t really care as long as he got the money he wanted!
As Christmas came along everyone waiting to have a nice break but unfortunately if you hadn’t booked it off in about 3 months advance you couldn’t have a holiday!
Luckily I booked mine off so as I was looking forward to my week off which did go successful I did have a nice time to relax over Christmas.
The day I came back from my holiday was the day when the whole place was covered in security guards, everybody wondering what the hell was going on
The managers started calling us out group by group, which started causing suspicion when the groups weren’t coming back in, it was simple everyone knew what was happening we were getting the sack! That day eventually my name came up so I walked to the meeting room to see what they had to say surprisingly they said it was due to not hitting target I didn’t bother saying nothing as I wasn’t the type to answer back I think it upset me more than anything knowing what hard work and effort I put into the company and they used me and many others.
As I got home I realized that they owed me £780 from hitting my target in the month so they sacked me for basically no reason at all, I did manage to get the money they owed me but it just made me sick that I couldn’t do nothing about what they put me through.
I got sacked on the 29th December which because of that I couldn’t take them to citizens advice because they sacked me before a year had been complete.
I moved on and found a job which made me realize how bad that company really is, it made me laugh that my friends who worked there also was getting phone calls to go back, I was glad I changed my number YES LOANS are a SCAM! What they do to people is sick! Never apply for a loan or work their I could go on about many more things. I just think its really sad Mr Chorlton has to treat people like this and has no feelings most probably because he thinks he is big due to the money he is claiming from the less fortunate people in Britain. Will someone please investigate into this messed up buisness.
