Pros

The gate out, when it worked A select few genuinely good people

Cons

• Inner circle of original employees who are connected to the owner that sink anyone they take a disliking too. • extreme micro-management or over delegation (bluffing managers) no in between. leaves employees over scrutinised, over worked, undertrained and overwhelmed. •Managers either don’t care about the well-being of their subordinates or are promoted through who they know to positions they know nothing about and make horrible decisions. • knowledgable, capable employees are lied to to keep them in positions as they are the only ones capable of doing the job and management are not willing to hire/train people appropriately (it took 4 men to do my job when I left) • impossible workload placed on individuals once they are shown to be capable. Overtime optional in the contract (40 hour contracted work week) but you are expected to work 50/60 hours a week. • disciplinary actions seem to be one rule for one for another. There seems to be no steps before final written warning for people who aren’t liked. And those who are in favour fly under the radar time & time again. • management so eager to climb the ladder and look good for the board they go full bore into half-cocked ideas that 90% of the time end up being irrelevant of counter-productive. •Absolutely zero employee input taken into account (recent employee survey was bounced back to employees by management before reaching the board and employees told to improve their answers) • uncompetitive pay with little chance of progression, especially for those working in practical positions (assembly, fabrication, stores & site) • lack lustre / incapable employees seem to just get shuffled round the company by management to cause the most damage possible. •high employee turnover rate have absolutely ruined working atmosphere. • near miss / accident rates soaring due to high workload and high stress. Health and safety call meetings with employees and managers where we were told that no job is so important that you need to put your safety at risk. When the reality seems to be the exact opposite. AVIOD AT ALL COSTS IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY AND DIGNITY

Pros

None what was a good company is no longer.

Cons

Too little too late, management team a total shambles. Directors employed but find out only director in title, nothing else, still big divide to the inner sanctum. New blood brought in but then alienated and side lined.

A very discriminative and one sided company.

Pros

Absolutely None that can outway the cons!

Cons

As per the title, a very discriminating company with a mix of sectarian incidents that was covered up by so called management. No progression if you care about your work and actually work. Progression only achieved if you’re only skill is being great at being managements shadow and of the P community. By no means this is an innovative company when their product ideas are from stolen from other companies. They don’t even follow their own policies and procedures. That’s a topic to follow in the next series of JK Rowling books. HR Department...May as well be none, same as quality and Health and safety departments. There is more work done in stormount the last two years.
