      Pros

      The people I work with are fantastic. I care about the company as does everyone I’ve come across at Formica. We have had a big investment especially in North Shields and are hopefully on the right path to becoming profitable.

      Cons

      I’ve had some pretty underhanded things happen to me which wanted to make me leave Formica and being asked to work on call for nothing is taking advantage. There is no investment in te staff or retaining the best people. I come to work to be paid and haven’t had a pay rise ever.

      Pros

      Inward investment from parent company is starting to pay dividends. Turnaround in sales performance, customer retention, staff morale all better. A real opportunity to grow due to the investment in IT infrastructure from the parent means there is a real drive for people to push boundaries in what we do.

      Cons

      Project management needs to improve, communication between departments on requirements and scoping is not always the best. Stop the rot with the pay freezes. Long term staff have put in an awful lot over the last 3 years to help Formica recover and have accepted remuneration was on hold. Things are looking up, don't forget that fundamentally, we come to work to be paid for our skills, pay us well and keep reaping the benefits.
