Pros

Good shift allowance Good pension scheme

Cons

Manufacturing staff receive very little respect from their manufacturing managers. There is little room for progression after a certain point within manufacturing. Other areas of the business have roles which are deemed to warrant higher grades/ salaries while manufacturing staff hit a ceiling pretty quickly. The shift allowance is excellent however was fought for by the union and the threat of strike action. Managers seem to resent this shift allowance. Most recently they have decided to remove shifts from Manufacturing Team Leads which will be detrimental to output, put more pressure on senior engineers and destroy overall morale. They are completely out of touch with the effects of their actions and are only concerned with progressing their own career by any means necessary.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your long service with Leonardo. We’re pleased you recognise elements such as our pension and shift allowance, but we take your concerns around respect, progression in manufacturing, and recent changes very seriously. Manufacturing is critical to our success, and we are committed to ensuring colleagues feel valued and have clear opportunities to develop. We understand that changes to shift patterns can have a real impact, and feedback like yours helps us reflect and improve how we support our teams. We would strongly advise you to reach out to our manager or local People Partner to discuss your concerns in more detail. Thank you again for your contribution.
