Pros

Average salaries and bonus scheme. Good work force wanting the company to succeed. Private medical insurance included in employment package.

Cons

Salaries for junior and senior managers significantly below UK averages. Senior managers are expected to pass blame for failures to junior managers and operatives. Blame culture has become the norm. Not an equal opportunities employer, pale, male and stale is a good description of the management of this company. Factories suffer from significant under investment. UK factories likely to close within 5 years due to under investment in equipment and a poor/tired product portfolio.

Pros

Hybrid mode, food in pantry

Cons

Parking is hard to find and they dont reimburse for that. Worse management after taking over in 2024, recording highest turnover, turning into clown festivals ever since and who can show off better without lifting a finger to help, management only knows how to boss around. Management does not care at all about employees, no matter how much they highlight it, it is ALWAYS what beneficial to the company. Retrenchment is constant. No direction, growth or whatsoever. No inclusivity as top management are mostly male dominated

Pros

Working over time Decent pantry

Cons

The reason why they're a top employer is because of the lack of participation from other companies. HR department is a joke Upper management behaves childishly
