Understaffed and Overworked

Quality assurance technician

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

People were generally pretty friendly especially because the Auckland plant is small (about 90 people on site).

Cons

- We were really under staffed and overworked- always asked to work 6 days a week even though we were only contracted and paid to work 5 days (total 40 hours) a week. If you said you weren't available to work on the weekend due to prior commitment the supervisor was really mean about it. - There were no staff benefits - Pay was terrible
