Pros

Fairly competitive wage and some perks, including discount. Given some feedback on how well you're doing. Shop floor staff had a good work ethic, as a lot is expected of you.

Cons

Disorganised. You were expected to do whatever overtime they give you, which impacted on my studies, as it did with most of the students that I spoke to there. I was contracted to 15 hours and regularly had to do double that. At least three other students left in the few months I was there. Rotas were often changed without you knowing. It could be changed an evening when you weren't in, for you to be in the next day, which meant you couldn't plan very easily around it. Some of the team leaders were rude and unfriendly. Management were civil with you as long you didn't try and say no to overtime. Given a couple of hours of till training in induction, then expected to remember everything when you were called on unexpectedly.

Pros

I can't find any decent pros, im just filling this space

Cons

If you have offered an interview in the accounts payable in Watford, RUN! This is a company that is run so badly it will affect your physical wellbeing. The management run this place like a sweat shop- no talking to your colleagues allowed, no breaks apart from 30 min lunch break, leaving you to stare at the screen for 4 hours continuously, being bullied by managers and team leaders, making you feel stupid. Is very close to an abusive relationship - you will feel like you're so stupid, no other company will want to hire you. Is very high volumes and you're pushed to reach your high targets every day. You're made to explain why you haven't reach them that day. No recognition for hard work, not a single "well done" in the contrary you're told you're not working hard even though the daily stats proves otherwise. Its a toxic working environment, please dont join this company
