"Argusta UAB is a well-organized company with competent staff and a supportive team. Transportation managers are reasonable and routes are well-planned. Drivers are friendly and helpful. The fleet consists of modern DAF Euro 6 trucks and the company provides secure parking. Salaries and travel allowances are paid reliably. They seek responsible, self-sufficient drivers."
"This company is poorly managed and exploitative. Pay is inconsistent and often withheld, overtime isn't compensated, and pallets are frequently stolen with drivers being falsely accused. Work hours are excessive, often exceeding 90 hours per week. Truck maintenance is inadequate, and the mechanic is unprofessional. Communication is deceptive, with managers providing false assurances. Drivers are treated as disposable, and the company fosters a culture of distrust and informers. Promised pay rates are misleading, leading to a feeling of being a slave to the company."
"The company's situation has remained unchanged. It's still disorganized and problematic."
"The company's performance is extremely poor. Pay is inconsistent and unreliable, leading to driver burnout. Home time is frequently altered without notice, and there's a concerning atmosphere of distrust among drivers."
"ARKUSTA (RENVITA) drivers face harsh conditions. New drivers are welcome, but a significant €500 fee is deducted upon termination, plus additional fees. Drivers report constant pressure, strict eco-driving requirements, and relentless calls from Igidius. The company prioritizes profits over employee well-being, with poor communication from management. Work hours are excessive (95 hours in 2 weeks), rest periods are minimal (7:15 daily), and turnover is high. Cost-cutting measures include cramped transport and bypassing toll roads. Drivers are pressured to violate regulations, leading to potential bonus deductions or termination. Salary promises are often unfulfilled, with complex and delayed payments. The overall experience is overwhelmingly negative."
"This company started well but declined over time. Issues arose with theft and employee turnover. Advances are unreliable, potentially requiring loans. Pay fluctuates unpredictably, and employee value seems tied to seniority. Frequent violations occur, and recent pay adjustments are uncertain."
"Working conditions were chaotic with excessive workloads and frequent driver replacements. Pay was inconsistent, with delays and unexpected deductions. Rest breaks were inadequate and often shortened, and fuel standards were non-existent, leading to fuel waste."
"Employees report intense 10-14 week shifts leading to burnout and excessive work hours (up to 100 hours). Management is described as harsh, with questionable financial practices and potential company name changes. The reviewer strongly advises against working for this company."
"I had a very negative experience working here, and ultimately quit. The work and rest schedules were consistently violated, with pauses frequently shortened. Management often pressured drivers to skip required breaks. The treatment of employees was disrespectful, with frequent raised voices. There were hidden fees of 500 euros deducted, which were never returned. Pay was misrepresented and significantly lower than promised due to unclear calculations related to diesel fuel. High turnover is a major issue, with a constant influx of new drivers. Many drivers abandon their trucks due to the poor treatment."
"Working here was a constant struggle, with frequent pallet replacement issues and drivers often forced to load and unload trailers themselves, leading to unexplained salary deductions. The company's work and rest schedule is concerning, with pressure to exceed driving hour limits. Drivers are treated as expendable resources, facing low pay and a negative work environment."
"I had a very negative experience with this company. They consistently violated regulations and were unreliable with pay. Salary advances were delayed and often shorted, with calls ignored. Several employees, including myself, had to consult lawyers regarding unpaid wages, and I am still awaiting resolution."
