Pros

There are NON to mention

Cons

You'll get sick from the freezing cold constantly, that's unless you catch infections from others. You'll be expected to work faster than the normal machine output. If not, you're shunned, if you complain about anything to hr the outcome will and is designed to go in favour of the company, people in higher positions lie through their teeth, the place is not fit for purpose, if you go there be prepared, and if your lucky enough like me you'll walk out and never look back, that's if your lucky enough too, 6 deaths in 9 years, all swept under the carpet, due to an excessively paced environment.

Pros

Shift pattern, love the days off. Overtime available also

Cons

Managers are bullies, Senior Ops treat you like dirt. HR are getting worse by the day, they don’t care and never act on anything they’re told. Pointless raising a grievance as HR will tell you go and speak to your manager even though it’s against your manager
