Pros

There were none that I found

Cons

The management is poor, employees are treated like cannon fodder with no respect show unless you're face fits. I have seen appalling health and safety breaches including the over turning of a side loader moving a machine out of the factory on the orders of a group manager. I have seen employees working machines full of shavings and dust because the extraction was not adequate, hazardous to health. As previously mentioned some managers are aggressive, employees being told if you don't like it get out. Very very poor company to work for. Dickensian

Love the people I work with (co-workers)

Low wages, and managers love to give mandatory overtime! It's a joke to them.
