      Pros

      Can get a good exposure to manufacturing processes as a graduate. Frequent communication between different parts of the company.

      Cons

      Huge employee turn over rate combined with a lack of training opportunities make personal development rather difficult. Graduate scheme lacks structure.

      Pros

      There are plenty of good people to work with from the manufacturing and engineering groups. I enjoyed the community and the job I did.

      Cons

      Just as with every place, there were politics. Although these politics had the ultimate goal of driving to a profit, it often created more consternation and the potential for not following the rules as things should be. Brinksmanship can rule the day.
