First Global operates with severe payment and operational issues that create a pattern of financial exploitation and deception. Multiple drivers report systematic wage delays ranging from 10-20 days, with some workers never receiving full compensation after 2-6 months of employment. Recruitment through Liliana involves false promises about daily wages (€50), benefits, and working conditions that are not honored. Upon hire, drivers are transported by minibus to assignments in Venlo, Netherlands, where they work extended hours with minimal operational standards. The company reportedly owns an aging fleet of Renault T and occasional DAF trucks in poor condition. Most critically, drivers are coerced into signing Polish-language documents waiving all financial claims when resigning, preventing legal recourse. Management refuses to address payment grievances and directs disputes to expensive court proceedings. The only positive review appears defensive and disputed by workers from Belarus and Ukraine who report substantial unpaid wages. Overall, the company is characterized as disorganized, untrustworthy, and exploitative of inexperienced drivers.
