Pros

Shift is excellent, Team is brilliant, Food is on the house. Been working here for 6 years now. Brought on board as a mechanical apprentice that soon led me to an Instrumentation Engineer role. I really enjoy this position and there is loads to do on our site. We've got some good news about new technologies coming into action soon.

Cons

Unfortunately my apprenticeship didn't go to plan, but new management have improved the new apprenticeship programme drastically, so a Con to Pro. Not enough time in the day to fix everything. Working on plant that is older than me is a slight concern. Time is only moving forward, technology is always improving.
