Pros

- Reasonable wage -Employee benefits -Flexi time -37 hour weeks -Generally relaxed and friendly atmosphere -Relaxed Team Leader (easier to focus on your job without added stress from higher ups. Makes the Team far more welcoming.) -Educational support -On site doctor/nurses

Cons

-Periods of low work which can make the days drag (not ideal when you have to book your time) -Slow career progression (A lot of the people here are life long workers content in their position) -Facilities are lacking, and what is available is expensive and low quality. -Some members of staff can be difficult to communicate with, and have been seen to ignore emails and delete them. -Extremely long and strict procedures which can make average day to day tasks extremely frustrating (Ordering low value parts for example, worth pennies can take months to order and receive due to the paperwork and bouncing around across teams).

Pros

Any pros are outweighed by the cons.

Cons

This company fires employees based on their ethnicity, religion, and skin color, in order to replace them with DEI hires to please diversity quotas. Even if the employee is exemplary. Managers here will lie to you and create no-win scenarios for these undesirable employees so they can have excuses to fire them besides blatant discrimination. If you speak out against this treatment, they will find legal ways to punish you and make sure you cannot work again the job field, or even hope to be able to live a normal life. It's clear in their holiday messages that they discriminate against Christians. If you working for them on a contract to hire position, they will enter verbal agreements with you, informing you multiple times that you get the full-time hire, but then pretend like it never happened.
