Pros

Pay was decent - but only because of the ridiculous amount of hours we were expected to work.

Cons

No work-life balance, expected to work more than ‘reasonable’ overtime. No career progression, you get told you will have annual performance reviews which either don’t happen at all or it’s just a box ticking exercise for management and nothing eventuates. Management are completely unapproachable, it’s a ‘them’ against ‘us’ attitude and you will simply just be a number to them. Company prides itself on safety; however when issues are brought up, they are swept under the carpet and forgotten about. Safety meetings also become a box-ticking exercise and are not taken seriously.
