Pros

Good base salary Employee discount at high street stores.

Cons

No time given for maintenance. Employed as an engineer but utilised as an operator. Lack of training Lack of communication from management to lower levels (I had a new manager for nearly a year before he introduced himself in a meeting). Shift work premium is abysmal compared to counterpart engineer firms. Scrapped "one to ones" so the working people have no way of communicating issues and concerns to management. This company hugely value quantity over quality and will have managers asking people to break safety protocols if it means getting the job done 10 minutes faster. If you come from an engineering back and take pride in your work and want to make sure every job you do is done properly then avoid working for JLR.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
