Cons

shift working wasnt great for health

Pros

Flexible and good people to work with

Cons

Limited progression and size of company

Pros

Paid a good salary but needed to work long hours.

Cons

Stressful job reporting to the main board.

Pros

Great work mates and a good shift patten. Good level of wages Highly motivated and dedicated staff had pride in their work. We managed to produce high quality work, within deadline dispute lack of investment in maintenance quite often well over the machines intended speeds.

Cons

Lack of training from day one and the expectation to run at 110% all the time. Blame culture that started from the top but was magnified by middle managers. When workers, many of which had years in the trade, made suggestions they were ignored or had their ideas stolen and passed off as a managers. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians

Pros

Fast paced culture in delivering high quality products. Opportunities for progression internally but self driven attributes needed with strong team ethic needed. Good salary every day different.

Cons

Accountability on work done, Strong character to persist in delivering KPIs.

Pros

Good cammeraderie and a very 'can do' attitude. The best part of a company are the oeople and the shopfloor guys were great.

Cons

Too much in-fighting at senior level and the results were be all and end all which did not always reflect actuals. Senior management were ruled by fear which stifled originality.

Pros

Fantastic teams across the different sites, great spirit to succeed with passionate leadership, good equipment and clear direction and above all the best customers.

Cons

Sometimes you would have to work long hours and expectations from inside and outside of the business were a little challenging to say the least.

Pros

Some of the best staff in the industry hardworking staff (not upper management) Great bunch of committed workers Paid for the job done

Cons

Poor and greedy management Complete waste of machinery and skills following closure Zero communications and respect for workers Zero organisation which led to demise

Pros

The only pros were your colleagues who had a great work ethic and worked in a organised and businesses like manner in some very trying times.

Cons

The place was run like a circus. The Board were basically a set of crooks who weren't interested in print they were just interested in how much money they could squeeze out the business.

Pros

Money was great and lots of time off

Cons

Management treated staff poorly
