Supportive colleagues, but unclear processes and limited growth
Pros
- Supportive colleagues who are willing to help when workloads become overbearing. - Some managers are approachable and open to feedback. - Fast‑paced environment that helps build resilience and problem‑solving skills. - Overtime availability paid at 1.5x your normal hourly rate. - Shift pattern of 4 on 4 off balancing concentrated work hours alongside generous time off. - Multiple bonus scheme structures implemented.
Cons
- Communication between teams can be inconsistent, which sometimes leads to avoidable delays. - Workload can fluctuate significantly, especially during busy periods. - Processes and expectations are not always clearly defined, which can create confusion. - Limited long‑term progression opportunities within the department. - Tenure-based promotions; one’s skills, abilities and performance take a backseat. - No work from home options available and you are expected to attend site every shift. - Expected to find your own cover if you require holidays. - Consistently changing attitudes to policies and expectations; not regimented and employees treated differently rather than the same.
