Thread starter Bobby Dazzler Start date Nov 3, I would normally tip takeaway food delivery drivers - and other people who visit us at home like tradespeople, window cleaners, gardeners, etc - but would not tip a courier or non-food delivery driver.
Never tipped a food delivery driver and we have been using home delivery for over 20 years, first with Tesco but since about we have been with Ocado. Ocado drivers get a pretty good pay, my son worked for them about 2 years ago, much better than I suspect takeaway food delivery drivers get.
Range Rover Supercharged - Lovely! I gave a tip to the Ocado driver a few weeks ago, but this week he declined my offer. In a world dominated by Uber and other on-demand taxi apps, the etiquette for tipping taxi drivers feels much more confusing.

Holidays are very difficult to get and you are made to feel like a nuisance by certain managers when you book one. Yes, it is generally good to go out and meet people but it is can be very stressful to get from one drop to another on time, and if you even slightly damage a van then god help you. Your colleagues are generally alright but when they are jobsworths, they really are jobsworths.
Yes ok, it is better than being unemployed but if you really feel the need to come and work here as a CSTM Delivery driver , keep your eye out for something else as you will soon be stressed to the nines or they will just get rid of you.
Pros Pay not bad, Meet some nice people, Colleagues generally ok. Cons No regular shift pattern, Difficult hours, Some managers are totally unappreciative, Not all customers are nice to you, Stressful. Official response from Ocado Group 31 October You get an expected arrival time based on a pretty useless navigation system that suggests you can do 60mph down single track lanes,or use roads labelled unsuitable for motor vehicles!! Then they moan cos your late on delivery. Pros Not much.
Cons Pressure to deliver. Yes There are 2 helpful reviews 2 No. We would like to reassure you that we are raising this issue with the wider team. Rate your recent company Share your experience to help others. Horrible place to work. Managers use bad language toward all staff. Unless you bow down to them. You have to check your van over to make sure it is road worthy. If you see something wrong with your van and tell the Marshall's they just give you abuse and say there is nothing wrong with it.
Everyone gets to know your business. So no confidentiality at all from management. So if anyone wants advise from me about this job then it is to stay well clear. Pros Nothing. Cons Disrespectful management.
We would like you to know that we have listened to several areas of feedback on this point and are looking to address issues with management through a new survey technology. Employees will be able to leave feedback anonymously without fear of comments going straight to the manager.
Avoid or make it a quick pit stop. Avoid high driver turn over.. I wonder why. Pros Free parking, paid early finish. We encourage our employees to take regular breaks to reduce the impacts of the job on their physical and mental wellbeing.
Working as a CSTM at Ocado did really help me develop my driving skills on long distances and being able to control a big van. Most of the days you work 6 hours not 8 and you get payd for it. Its not because they want you to work just 6 hours because the lorries do not arrive in time or other operational difficulties. But do not worry in 6 hours that you work you feel like you worked Sat nav's must be updated because they are taking you too far or at a different adress and you loose time.
Managers say do not rush take your time but if you do not rush starting at 4 PM and leaving at 6 you will arrive home at 2 in the morning depends where you live. Too me at the begining it was good 15 16 drops 35 miles was nice or even miles 13 drops no rush nice again. I have arrived at the depot at 1 in the morning got home at so sometimes it's very exhausting. I am glad I have worked for Ocado I meet new people and It's a good job. I was happy I had a job during the pandemic and so to speak I have put my life in danger by being outside and getting in contact with alot of people.
Nontheless I was happy I could keep others safe. The benefits were allright good health, pension cycle to work scheme and they also recicle their water so good for that. We have received an e-mail also saying that the CEO got 50million pounds because he worked alot during - more Pros Driving, tips sometimes, people sometimes.
Cons Flats with no lifts, satnav's, long hours. Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review of your experience with Ocado Group. First couple of weeks is good. Usual low management politics, moody as anything. Organised very well but it is big corp meaning you are just a number. Pros Pay on time. Cons Management, hygiene, amount paid, unsociable. Yes No. We aim to give all our managers excellent training and have regular reviews to make sure we keep a certain level of management throughout the business.
Excellent company to work for. Money and management are very good. Your training and support is always to the highest standards. Excellent growth opportunities within the company.
