Pros

relative employment security , money is being invested in new production buildings, Potentially very good career prospects if you are of graduate caliber. very good gym and social section. the company has a very good reputation especially within the Macclesfield area as it is a major employer for the area.

Cons

High pressure in the manufacturing departments to hit targets, the company let far to many people leave on voluntary redundancy and have been paying the price for it. No real career prospects are available for the shop floor operators to progress - no succession planning is in place. poor reward system currently being used where any bonus or salary increase is approved by your manager who if you have a poor relationship with them have the final say in your reward so you will never receive a fare reward package.
