  • Best thing

    The pay

    Worst thing

    Management have no idea how to manage people. It's a misogynistic place to work with an outdated practices. Bullying & toxic culture with multiple breaches against employment law that can not be challenged unless you want to lose your job.

    JCB Warehouse operative, April 2023

  • Best thing

    the pay, the actual work itself, the sustainable and reliable income, overtime rate at 1.5x for overtime hours and saturdays. 2x for sundays

    Worst thing

    The management are ruthless without any care for the individual, alot of the respiratory ppe isnt new, there is no overhead working fume extraction on the shop floor, the extraction that has been introduced does not work. holidays are decided by the company like school holiday. the commute is difficult without use of your own motor vehicle. the absence and late system is outrageous and agency workers are treated as second class workers
