Pros

interesting job, used to be decent pay, good life balance with 4 days on, 4 days off

Cons

When agency that recruits temporarily employee warns you about toxic management before you even start, you know it is not a good sign... In my 20+ years of working life I have never experienced and witness soo much bullying and gasslighting as I have in Lifescan. I have seen my colleagues bullied by lab management, I have witness management following members of staff to lockers/toilets for a little impromtu "chats" ( without anyone else present) that left my colleagues in tears. I have seen the detrimental effect this has on people's mental and physical wellbeing. How well or not you do your job is completely irrelevant in regards to your progress within the company, only contributing factor is if management likes you. As long as you are friends ( even better if more than friends) with management, you can come to work drunk every day and you will still get to keep your job.

Pros

The 4 on 4 off cycle on the manufacturing side means rest periods are very long.

Cons

Despite a nice public facing impression, behind the scenes they treat their shop floor staff as disposable. Right now they are trying to get rid of headcount as the company struggles to keep up with the market shifts and therefore are loosing money!
