Pros

The main standout was how welcoming all the staff are.

Cons

The warehouse is cramped and people are working in spaces with no daylight and surrounded by bike boxes. Layoffs happened with little notice due to the downturn in the bike industry. Not a Ribble specific problem but worth being aware of.

Pros

+ Colleagues are a good laugh + Relaxed environment in warehouse + Regular working hours (8:30am - 5pm, Mon - Fri) + Bank holidays off

Cons

Auto-pilot work when you're used to it. A sufficient stop-gap job while you figure out what you want to do, not a career. Left the company feeling entirely burnt out and under-appreciated. - No bonuses regardless of experience or performance - Competence lands you more work but the same pay as those who coast along/fly under the radar - Lack of progression - No Christmas shutdown - Management out of touch; targets set by desk-sitting higher ups - Ask people to use their holidays when over-staffed - Sometimes approve too many holidays and leave (already thin-stretched) staff worse off - 30min unpaid lunch while doing a physical job
