Pros

Opportunities are available for self enhancement/progression but are limited and company encourages people to learn . Free tea and coffee !! Good place to work , all staff very friendly and helpful. Free tea and coffee !! Environmentally aware and promote many activities to reflect this. Free tea and coffee !!! Continuous improvement and company expansion Oh and free tea and coffee !!

Cons

Many of the activities that the company promote do not apply to production staff (well that seems to be the general feeling) for example the well being programmes , staff conferences and such like as production seems to key . Feels like we are treated differently to other staff. Company almost refuses to acknowledge we are under staffed in certain areas by as much as 50% and therefore employees are stressed out trying to cope with the ridiculous workload placed on us often relying on untrained agency staff to make ends meet

Pros

Good rate of overtime and bonuses

Cons

I have worked within the packing facility for over 12 months and the last 2 have been terrible. Moral is at an all time low, the breaks have been cut ( for this department only!) from 3 breaks to just 1, which wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for the fact that whilst working you get a terrible neck and back ache from the action of the task and the terrible chairs. And especially because we work shift, so on the afternoon shift you now do not have time to eat anything half decent. It certainly feels as though we are being punished for being the busiest department. We always split breaks in order to keep the machine running but that’s a laugh in itself as the machine is awful and breaks down daily. We are expected to rally around, often to the detriment of our personal lives, in order to fulfill orders. Yes, we get paid to do so, but money isn’t everything. Especially when the atmosphere they’ve created is one of disappointment. Also, the management and shift manager are unapproachable, to the point where they will shout in your face.
