Great facilities and opportunities, but fear-based culture lingers

Pros

The company has excellent facilities, a strong reputation, and genuinely invests in community and charitable initiatives. There are many talented and dedicated people throughout the business, making it a good place to start a career and gain valuable experience. The organisation provides exposure to a wide range of opportunities and has many employees who care deeply about the company’s success.

Cons

Unfortunately, there is an atmosphere of fear that often sits above the organisation. Relationships between management and directors can be challenging, creating a constant internal political battle. Too much time and energy is spent on protecting positions and navigating internal conflicts rather than collaborating towards shared goals. This can result in people feeling they need to look after themselves first, sometimes at the expense of colleagues and overall business performance. The company is also behind many modern working practices and would benefit from embracing more contemporary approaches to leadership, flexibility, communication, and employee wellbeing.

Pros

Free car parking, free tea and coffee, free pizza once a year

Cons

Poorly run by the MD and his engineering director. They cast aside loyal long servers to promote newcomers who are the next big thing. These newcomers quickly get crushed by the toxic conditions they are expected to work in and go elsewhere, and often the guy who was cas aside has left by then, creating a lack of skills or experience and more work for those who are left. We have seen it time and time again, and it is even happening now. Blokes running the workshops for decades being shoved aside to make room for the next round of wannabes and yes men, who are also cheaper to pay. One of these is a guy we have worked with on the machine shop, who was pretty crap at his job and lazy. Theyre giving him manager job in the other workshop proving that loyalty doesn't pay, being in favour with thedirector of engineering does. He is young and cheap so they jumpat the chance. Everyone here is sick of it as none of us had a chance to go for the job, it is all done by stealth. Loads of us are looking for jobs as we just hace had enough over the years. They contradict there own values then wonder why everyone either hates it there or leaves. The director of engineering has manipulated other directors over years to get them out and have less threat to his own job.he hides everything from the MD and half of time gets away with it. He has little ability but is carried along by a few skilled guys who make him look half capable, any who speak out get shoved out by him so they can't expose him. If you work here for god's sake just get trained and go before you get too expensive and they shove you aside
