"This company hired the reviewer without experience and provided training, but the experience was overwhelmingly negative. Issues included a non-refundable deposit, fabricated fines, deceptive pallet counts, unexpected charges for utilities and vehicle downtime, pressure to violate driving regulations, and delayed/incorrect payments. The reviewer alleges widespread fraud, management intrigue, and a high turnover rate, claiming the company prioritizes profit over ethical practices and employee well-being. They left for a more reputable company and advise others to do the same."
"The company disputed my review and accused me of lying about unpaid wages. I initially believed I was missing 1000 euros, but I later discovered the company owed me an additional 2000 euros. I intend to pursue legal action, and other employees share similar grievances."
"Eduard Mayer Transport consistently manipulates employee salaries, shifting blame for fines onto drivers regardless of their involvement. They withhold deposits under the guise of fines, rarely returning them. Drivers report unexplained fines and a lack of transparency when questioned. Payment is unreliable even for conscientious work. Drivers are often employed through intermediary companies. Promises of high earnings are false, and drivers may even end up paying out of pocket. The company pressures drivers and threatens termination for dissatisfaction."
"This reviewer expresses frustration about perceived unfair treatment and lower wages compared to other nationalities working for a German company. They feel exploited by Polish and Baltic colleagues who avoid work. The review conveys a sense of anger and resentment."
"This company is poorly managed and exploitative. They mislead drivers about equipment and pay, withhold bonuses, and charge excessive fees for minor damages. The trucks are poorly maintained, and the company appears to engage in questionable financial practices. Drivers frequently leave the company, and it's not recommended for those seeking stable employment or fair compensation."
"This company offers good training but has significant issues. While the equipment is decent, maintenance is lacking. The work primarily involves international routes in Germany, Holland, and Denmark. Pay is unreliable, with discrepancies between promised and actual payments, often involving cash and card issues. There are hidden fees for basic amenities and unexpected tax bills. The company's practices are questionable, with drivers reportedly uniting to file complaints with authorities. Turnover is high, and it's not recommended for those seeking stable income."
"The company is employing drivers from Ukraine and Belarus, which is against German law. Management defends this practice, and drivers are reportedly using two tachograph cards to circumvent rest regulations, potentially linked to a recruitment partnership with Irinatrans."
