Pros

Non salary benefits especially pension remain excellent. Internal training on AI is good.

Cons

The practice of radical candour is driving a culture of bullying and dominating behaviour hidden under a performance culture language. Salaries for trained professionals that are capable of working across multiple industries lag significantly. Flexible working for parents is non existent. Hybrid working is almost gone. Sustainability is an unfunded distant memory actively discouraged by senior management.

Pros

Weekly pay is great, and the variety of working shifts is good. 3 Months of training rather than 2 weeks.

Cons

Supervisors don't communicate well with each other. Tasks will be changed quickly when they realize they caused an error, and they put the wrong people in the wrong areas. They utilize overtime a lot even when you're training. You can routinely get put into a position/job you haven't worked before, and then you will be left to figure out what you are supposed to do by yourself. Currently going through a "reassessment" of what their standards are for new hires, but not actually telling their new hires these expectations. They have a habit of firing people on their last day of probation. (ie, day 89/90 you get 90 days to get to their "standard")
