Pros

- Early hours (7a-3p) - Pretty standard and straight forward responsibilities - The accounting team is small and helpful

- Plant management is poor. Unable to provide answers to problems they're having and you're stuck having to wait for them. - Have to work some Sundays without much head's up - Plant will run on Saturdays which will lead you to having two days worth of work in a single day - Pay is not good
