Pros

A few good people in the company.

Cons

A manager who moaned about everything, from me deciding to not eat my lunch (on my unpaid lunch break) in the staff kitchen, to 'not talking enough'. Even for using the wrong colour pen. Repeatedly called me a liar, for saying I can't remember a random amount from a few days ago, and for once being a few minutes late due to a broken down lorry blocking the entrance to the industrial estate the office was located on (a colleague confirmed this was true). This genuinely isn't hyperbole, it genuinely was the biggest mistake of my career accepting the employment. This was the only employment I walked out on mid shift and didn't work my notice. 3 month notice period after 6 month probation. GDPR compliance was at best questionable, no discretion or privacy when talking about fellow employees and candidates that have been interviewed. They claim to be 'Covid secure' but were very hostile to me taking sometime off to get my second Covid jab (it was almost 12 weeks since my first jab, so needed to get it done), they wouldn't allow time off for a medical appointment, nor allow me to use any annual leave, they made me make up the time (something no other employer has done, as all previous either allow a couple of hours for medical appointments, the ones that don't allow the use of annual leave).

Pros

A handful of the people are lovely

Cons

There’s a reason this company keeps racking up identical negative reviews. Promotions aren’t earned here they’re handed out to friends, not to the people who actually work hard and deserve recognition. I witnessed some extremely inappropriate behaviour from management which extends to the operations manager standing up and confronting a pregnant woman (who only asked when lunch was) and was not reprimanded for this, being told you have to make up hours for any medical appointments, the director boasting about how much money he makes in a quarterly meeting but there were no pay rises available within the budget. Management would openly talk badly about people behind their backs, an employee was actively bullied out the company but and the bully walked away untouched because they were involved in a relationship with someone in management and HR minutes mysteriously disappearing when it would go against them to only name a few. Please think twice before joining this company!

Pros

Some really nice people there

Cons

Poor upper management and lower management chosen by cliques and their idea of “likability”; not talent or experience. Atmosphere is hostile and the staff turnover reflects this. Management is unprofessional and gives obvious biased and preferential treatment. They do not care about their staff in the slightest. Least enjoyable or encouraging place i have worked at so far – there is a reason they only make inexperienced and school leaver hires. Close to the motorway but transport links are shocking. Middle of an industrial with nothing near.
