Pros

Pay was reasonable Weekly bonus Some of the managers are great and genuinely care about their teams Finish at 4:30

Cons

The people are nasty and unwelcoming unlike anywhere I have ever worked before, bullying is prominent across all levels and teams. This is such a huge problem and I know that this has affected so many employee's mental health Facilities are visibly dirty and not cleaned regularly Pest issues (rats) Bonus is often taken away unfairly, if you try to appeal this management threaten to take away the entire office's bonus Targets set very high making it difficult to reach without error. Quantity of work is valued over quantity Software is old and doesn't work properly often leading to errors slipping through to production, this is then blamed on the employee. Senior management is unprofessional towards rest of management, many people in the office can often can hear screaming and shouting coming through the office door from meetings. Unprofessional conduct between management and staff, witnessed on at least one occasion management taking professional issues (long-term staff leaving the business, other staff being aware of someone wanting to leave the business and not saying anything) very personally and openly bullying past employees to the rest of the office. Forced to lie repeatedly to customers and take the brunt on the phone when managers are avoiding them. These are just a few of the MANY cons I can think of.

Pros

Plenty of overtime if needed

Cons

Dispatch manager constantly threatens your job. He makes it clear that he don't care about people's personal life. He has no management skills at all, he is only in the job because his wife's family own the company.

Pros

Progression in return for hard work Weekly bonus scheme Opportunity for over time Exhibiting at home build shows Hours are flexible Wages are better than average Experianced senior staff & management Team spirit no one struggles with work load Company private health care Organised specialist departments I.e technical, aftersales, production, order processors etc Their training & support On site safe car park Suggestions & ideas are listened too & actioned on. People leave- then come back! Trading for 33 years! Recently published in the 1000 fast growing business in the uk. I have worked in some pretty unorganised, in experienced window & door companies. Duration is fast paced but structured. Selling over 700 items per week to trade & retail. The staff turn around is small. Bonus scheme works well! Good bunch in the office & factory. No hard sell in the showroom just product knowledge & a friendly voice. There are many staff who work at Duration and have done for the last 25 years. By far the best company I have worked for.

Cons

The air con is always on in the office!
