Best thing
Some of the workmates were superb people to work with, one or two were too busy reporting everything to HO to curry favour.
Worst thing
Working through the covid epidemic while others got paid to stay at home, then when it was over our reward was being paid off, while those that stayed at home were kept on, no such thing as loyalty at WJ, No support for our out of depth supervisor. Utterly no compassion during bereavement area managers just want you to cover extra shifts whether your in mourning or not.

Best thing
Everyday is different, very enjoyable and laid back but keeps you busy at the same time
Worst thing
The hours, the payroll team, rude staff who think they are above you, people who are thinking they have more authority and talk down to you

Best thing
My team as a whole is great and we mostly get on.
Worst thing
Management on site don't tend to respect their staff. Lots of favouritism to who gets the best overtime and step ups. No chance of progression, even if you apply for higher grade on my site it always goes to external. Not sure if this happens on all sites. Head office doesn't investigate why a surge of people leave for better paid jobs with better perks.
