Pros

Decent teamwork on the production floor Strong safety focus and clean workplaces Colleagues generally looked out for each other Managers and HR checked in at the start.

Cons

It got intense very fast. You couldn’t use your personal email on the work computer, rooms and open plan constantly smelled bad, and people gagged at the line smells. There was talk of using black soldier flies for waste, which was a good idea. The sandwich packaging was well designed but felt very disposable, Just like so much unnecessary plastic. In mainstream commercial sandwich production, life can feel pretty cheap. You’re unlikely to see a sub named after someone like Diane Keaton, only independent firms with real heart tend to do that. They sacked me after a short time for “poor match”. My medical issues including time needed for an optician appointment weren’t properly considered, despite how hard I tried to keep the job. I was dropped like a hot potato. No follow-up call or EAP just going through the motions.

Hi and thanks for leaving a five star review. I think the review is meant for another Greencore, as we don't operate in the US (we'll take the 5 stars though :-) )
