Good potential but ultimately soul-destroying - Compounding Operator ITH Pharma Employee Review

Culture of fear and cover-up. Employees feel overworked, exploited, under-appreciate and underpaid. Working conditions are poor, especially for production staff as heavy workload and late lunches/ finishes mean you can be in the cleanrooms for up to 6, even 7 hours without ready access to water, a break or the toilet. If employees protest conditions they are either met with excuses, forced contracts or deaf ears. And if you're an unlucky new starter they'll charge you the ambiguous fee of £1000 for leaving within 6 months of starting for 'training costs'. This is due to the way in which the directors and CEO choose to run their company. It's very short-sighted, they'd rather lose their experienced staff and spend time and money training up new ones than retain their existing team. It is clearly profit motivated but to the detriment of the business's longevity. I hope they realise it may not be as easy to hired young, educated and hardworking staff who are willing to start on low pay (floating above minimum wage) after Brexit. They have plans for renovation and expansion, I just hope they have the staff to fill it, it's not looking promising.
