Pros

Plenty of overtime. 9 day fortnight. Pay is slightly better than other companies in the area.

Cons

Too much work for the few people who are approved to do it. Favouritism of certain employees by management. Training standards have slipped - little or rushed to meet targets set by management. Obsession with utilisation figures, meaning basic maintenance tasks overlooked as no time given to carry it out. Performance reviews don't achieve anything apart from more responsibilities with no extra pay. General lack of direction from management on how to progress . Divide between workshops and office staff. Bullying culture. Management mostly invisible. Morale is almost non existent. Bonus scheme benefits managers and above more than the people turning the spanners. Top down communication poor. HR department has a very high turnover. Budget expectations unrealistic with the current staff levels and equipment

Pros

There are still many dedicated employees across the organization who care deeply about the work, customers, and results. Historically, the company benefited from strong institutional knowledge and a collaborative environment that supported operational success.

Cons

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and organizational approach following senior leadership changes. This included significant turnover and restructuring that affected both personnel and established processes. As a result, many long-standing practices and experienced team members were replaced or deprioritized quickly, and in some cases without fully retaining institutional knowledge that previously supported efficiency and consistency. This transition has contributed to a decline in morale and trust among portions of the workforce. Communication and employee engagement have also felt more top-down, and the organization has, at times, felt more disconnected from the operational teams who execute the day-to-day work.
