Pros

The people - nothing like going through joint trauma to bring people together. I've never been closer with a group of work colleagues.

Cons

Treated as a number, very replaceable. They keep you on the same machine for months and then try find out ways to get rid of you when you're body finally breaks. Not worth the pain, RSI and silicosis.

Pros

Some decent colleagues Easy work Good job if you're desperate Free coffee/tea/milk from canteen

Cons

Poor management (lazy) Backstabbing and "gossip" Extremely poor pay (minimum wage) Poor pay progression (£400 p/a for a promotion) Responsibilities don't match pay Often repetitive work Core values are meaningless, just corporate nonsense that they don't follow No incentive for hard working employees

We understand that anonymity allows freedom of expression. Unfortunately not being able to address your concerns personally and preferably before you decided to leave it does not help us to improve. Please assist by emailing us your specific Lab and we can improve the workplace for your colleagues. HR.Enquiries@alsglobal.com
