Pros

Fantastic company and huge opportunities. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here and the knowledge I've gained! Think you'll struggle to find another company that spends so much on training and development - its awesome. Location is great too - being in Newcastle but on a London salary helps alot! Promote from within strategy is true - you really will not be shunned for some high performing exec - everyone starts at the bottom and determination gets you places!

Cons

Recognition is very poor for anyone below band 3, they get Star bonus'es and cars, where everyone else gets nothing! Very slow to adopt technology - change is difficult to implement, and mindset won't be changed!

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
