Pros

Significant change in outlook from senior UK management team, looking to improve the position of the company in a challenging market. Local teams have high level of knowledge and driven to succeed against challenging targets. Very stable employer, with considerable influence in a number of growing markets

Cons

Due the challenges mentioned, head count is a key driver for the company, which tends to leave it a little lean on numbers. Wage structure and pay awards limited due to overheads and sometimes can make the company, unfairly, less attractive to other similar sized companies.

Pros

Some of if not most people are friendly and supportive. Okay-ish benefits. Slightly better than the average I would say. Flexible hours for flex40 and salary people. In my particular case, they are very flexible when it comes to doctor appointments and kids' activities.

Cons

Emotional and mental damage from a toxic environment. Gossip galore and everyone is eager to point fingers or say "not my job". Managers who literally yell and curse at employees. Everyone is overworked and underappreciated. Sexism runs rampant. Communication between mangers, departments, and floor operators is non-existent. FAVORITISM EVERYWHERE! Certain people are treated differently because they are "in" with the right people in management. No one is treated equally. The machinery on the floor is old and falling apart.
