Worst Company ever! Awful wage! Suitable for graduates looking for lab experience

Potable water analyst, microbiology

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

+ Great people in the lab and team leaders were lovely + Easy but tiring job + Good for graduates to get lab experience

Cons

- Upper management awful - Upper management treat you like trash - Happy to change contracted hours without asking the employee or changing the contract (My contracted hours were 11pm - 7am which were fine, 1 month in - 2 am -10 am guys!) Completely destroyed my life. - Insultingly low wage - Unrealistic targets for sample processing - No chance for career progression unless you stay on minimum wage for 10 years

Thank you for your review – we believe the negativity is a result of your dismissal from the Company. In relation to the points you have mentioned, you were consulted with and agreed to a change in working patterns, you were on the wage for your role and in addition received an unsociable “shift” allowance of 15%. We have a productivity model in place which ensures that we align the correct resources to work volumes. We are not actively seeking to employee graduates and yes, we do boast about the excellent suite of “benefits” and “values” that we do have in place.

Thank you for your comments. Because our business is seasonal, we do experience fluctuations in workload which can be stressful for employees and managers. To assist in managing workloads, we actively recruit during the busy season but it is challenging to onboard and train new employees to become quickly proficient in their roles. Understandably this does cause a level of stress in the work group. We have recently dedicated full-time workplace trainers to assist during the busy months and hopefully this will alleviate some of the pressure being experienced. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

POOR MANAGEMENT

Anonymous

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The staff are great to work with. Pay is alright

Cons

Too many expectations for the amount of pay. The management is terrible. I have never seen a manager that belittles their staff the way it goes down in that facility. Management is not fully educated in the position held. Very inexperience!! The manager operates out of spite when handling situations when someone opposes the managers outrageous request. This is a terrible place to work if you don't have tough skin. No kind of professionalism what so ever. Manager uses abuse of power as a form of discipline. A lot of great employees has left because of management and more will continue to leave if something is not done. You have a staff that are scared to speak up for themselves, unmotivated, discouraged, and that feels like they're settling in their position.
