Pros

Doncaster RDC - Simple job, if your self motivated you'll have no issues. Night M, plenty of parking, subsidised meals very good, night managers and team leaders seem approachable

Cons

The great rate of pay only applies during nights for 5.5 hours if you take a break into account. Holidays are set at basic rate not nightshift premium, absolutely shocking chasing up leaving pay, they say I owe them money and withholding my due premiums which are paid in arrears. Equipment is of sub standard, Lydia voice system cuts off frequently, llops never fully charged, pallets are broken, toxic work force, training they get you to sign off things you've never had training on even if you say no. Rotad in for 7. 5 hours a night but do 8 as standard, not an issue until you raise a pay query. Do not recommend

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
