Pros

Non at all what so ever except 4 days on and 4 days off. But if you've got children don't even bother.

Cons

If you've got a science degree I wouldn't bother at all. You're never gonna get anywhere and if you're not part of the click or if you're face doesn't fit you'll never get anywhere at all. The staff hate the job and the turnover is the highest I've ever seen as it's reaching 85%

In response to your comment regarding Sittingbourne and the 4 on 4 off shifts and the work life balance. I would like to advise you that we do have flexible working policies in place and many staff have applied for flexible working and in most cases we are able to accommodate their requests. The shift systems have been in place for a number of years and are outlined during the recruitment process. We have introduced a salary progression system which is visible for all staff and there is definite progression available for employees as technical and behavioural competencies develop. It is unfortunate that you do not seem to have explored what is available to you whilst you were in our employment.
