Pros

A free breakfast once a month, free on-site parking, hot water provided for your own teabags/coffee........umm..... cheap salt in the winter so you can keep your driveway ice free

Cons

Distinct lack of skills from the majority of staff through lack of training and support from management. Dire working conditions that flout HSE laws. Disorganised logistics. Bleak prospects in regard to future and promotion. Minimal training, with disregard to first aid training which SHOULD be of prime importance. In this company, they say 'Safety first', but they practice 'Money first'.

Pros

When I was able to finally put in my two weeks.

Cons

I could barely afford groceries on their salary. Terrible upper management, that sat around stroking their own egos and solving not one issue for the team. Upper management bullying. Was told for the first 6 months of working there that we were awful. Worked 12 hour days the first weeks in without one thank you. Gaslighting on a level I have never experienced. Zero opportunity for advancement. Would tell us no overtime for months, then pull us in the office and ask why we were not utilizing all the overtime we were allowed to use.
