Pros

Extra week of annual leave and cheap onsite food for coworkers.

Cons

- Lack of organisation and processes. Management have a hands off approach and are more concerned with profit than the everyday running of the teams. - Coworkers are expected to take on extra responsibilities outside of their job description, including heavy lifting that does not comply with health and safety requirements. - A lot of expectations put on the coworkers but not much accountability for upper management. - There is no on site parking available for coworkers, despite having an overflow carpark. - Pay could be better, as it currently does not match market standards for certain roles, particularly the salary workers. - Rigid work schedule with no access to flexible working arrangements or being able to negotiate your schedule.
