• Best thing

  Personal progression and I like the people I work with and my direct bosses are very good, easy to get on with and fair.

  Worst thing

  Work like balance is non existent. It is very stressful, there’s never an easy day and they always want to cut costs.

• Best thing

  The money

  Worst thing

  The harassment
  the rudeness
  having managers that are not understanding
  Sometimes not getting a shift when they’re overbooked but they still confirm that you are on shift and then you don’t get paid if you have no holiday pay

• Best thing

  Colleagues I work with. We are seperate to the rest of the warehouse working as part of the assets team we regulate ourself most of the time.

  Worst thing

  Treated as a number, poorly paid. People only progress by who you know not what you know, and if you keep your mouth shut and don't try to think or give suggestions...just blindly follow orders, mostly from people that don't really know what they are doing, less experienced than yourself.
