Pros

It is a small business. Pay is reasonable. Most of the work is easy, you'll be unblocking toilets and changing door handles!

Cons

Although it is a small business, it is trying to grow, yet it has a small business mentality. It seems very cliquey, anyone who has been promoted in the company is friends with either a director or a manager! Job Logic (the system they use for jobs on tablets) is useless, there are too many things to input on the tablet making your working day 50% admin! Staff turnover is massive, nobody stays at Linaker for long. Vans are tracked, they say they only look at the tracker if there's a problem, but they question everything you do. Don't expect to work on the trade you have been brought in on, you're going to be a glorified handyman!

Pros

Had an interview in November 2025; was met by a lovely member of staff, full of smiles and laughter, and greeted in such a way that I knew this was an excellent choice for the role advertised. Was taken upstairs were the interview would be held and was asked if I would like a drink as the person who was going to interview me was still in a meeting. Cut a long story short, I was speaking to 3 staff within 5 mins of arriving, and each one said good luck to me with a smile, and they went their way. Great vibe I got not only from the three staff but also the atmosphere within the offices. All staff looked happy doing their roles, but still talking to one another, which was an incredible sight to see. After my interview, which I thought was fantastic, the young lady who first met me noticed I was leaving and said goodbye, which just confirmed in my mind that if I were offered the role, I would take it up. As the vibe had even more bounce and cohesion within the team

Cons

Nothing at all to say
