Things not said - Anonymous employee Life Science Centre Employee Review

Good training. Great content in the centre. Can be a rewarding job. Some really good people to work with.

Bad management. Condescending treatment of staff by some floor management. Some particularly like the power of authority. Fear amongst floorstaff to speak out against issues. Gossiping. All floorstaff required to deep clean during closures. 'Other duties' in the job spec is taken advantage of here. Expect to scrub chewing gum off floors. High turnover of floor staff creates issues with staffing. As mentioned in another review, they don’t inform new hires about the two closures that happen each year. Poor rotas with little notice and flexibility. Low staffing on the floor causing more issues with rotas. Agree with other review that the centre expect full flexibility from staff but are not flexible in return. Politics and conflict in the office between teams.

Co workers are all friendly and pretty simple job.

Very strict with small breaks and inconvenient hours over lunch time with no lunch break (6 hours). Zero hour contract but expected to have contracted hours availability.
