Amazing agency, always pleasure to deal with. Working with so many agencies in the past all over UK, can tell for sure here staff know what they doing. All those comments sound like propaganda for me. Always great communication, always make me busy.

If you're looking for jobs that make you tired, during hours that you don't usually like, and be paid less than expected (even after reading the contract), then Pamela Neave is perfect for you. But the best thing about PamNea is the customer service; everytime you have a problem, they will make call again and again until you're problem.will stay your problem. I was being sarcastic, I hope everyone will understand. The world needs less PamNeas

Consistent late payments and even underpaid me once. No matter how much they explained it it still seemed like covering up for just illegally taking a good chunk of my paycheck. Will never work for them again and would recommend the same.

Not impressed with the way i was spoke to over the phone or the application process. It is the only agent that has asked me to physically go to be interviewed at their premises.
